Questions for a second reading: Gloria Anzaldua

Question one really is asking us to look at oursleves and too see all the layers that makes us who we are. When you are reading either Entering into the Serpent, or, How to Tame a Wild Tongue, You notice how absolutle nuts her writing style is. Gloria does NOT attempt to write in a fashion that is we regular whitebread citizens would even consider to make any sense at all. That in itslef is probably the most liberating thing about this piece. It attempts to throw away all lines and borders that we put up within ourselves to shield us from the things we don't want to see. Gloria has a proud tradition that comes from a time of when people were proud of thier heritage, and took pride in it. They took pride in being different. I would like to say that feeling like this piece doesn't speak to you is completely normal. Gloria throws in bits and phrases in other languages, I believe, for that effect specifically. It leaves the reader unbalanced and unsafe. Vunrable and suceptible. WHich is exactly the way her culture has been treated.
