1. Anzaldua is at the dentist and is having a hard time to control her tongue from interfering with the dentist tools while he is working on her teeth. this can be related to the rest of the essay becuase every were she goes she encounters problem with people that hear her speak her language.

2. Her use of Spanish is for her friends and family and anyone else who understands it. she doesn't want to be surrendered by a border for her use of language.

3.no it cant be. this is because what is standard to us might not be standard for them. 

4. yes speaking  and writing in academic English is important for our identity . it is necessary because.your culture will help influence your writing and who you act with others in your surroundings 

5. British English is the English people from England use. American English is what we use in our daily lives.

6.i don't use a secret language when i talk to my friends.

7.when i speak to my mother or professor i speak a very respectful sort of English. when i speak with my friends i speak more of a slang version of English. this is because people deserve respect because of who they are, and also id o respect my friends but we communicate like that because its easier to understand each other because we are so close to each other.

8. this means that when she speaks her language it brings out her true self. this can be connected to someones identity because the way you talk will show who you truly are.

9.in the begging when she is in the dentist the doctor is telling her to stop moving her tongue but she keeps on moving it. in the end when she says she will overcome the silence it can be connected because if someone does tell her not to talk the way she wants to then she will ignore it and continue to do as she wants.

10. yes it can because the way you speak can show how you behave around others and can show if you have accent where are you from.

11.it is really important to have identity because it shows how different we are from the other 7 billion people that are on this earth. to her it is important to have identity you can tell when in the book she is in her class she gets in trouble when the teacher messes up her name and then tells the teacher to pronounce it correctly.

3 quotes from how to tame a wild tongue

1."Chicanas who grew up speaking Chicano Spanish have internalized the belief that we speak poor Spanish. it is illegitimate a bastard language." (Anzaldua}
2."My home tongues are the languages I speak with sister and brother with my friends."(Anzaldua)
3."I will no longer be made to feel ashamed if existing. I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, White. I will have my serpents tongue-my woman voice, my visual voice, my poets voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence."(Anzaldua)

Getting to know zahir

My name is zahir hassan. Growing up people had a hard time to pronounce my name. My name wasn't as common as my friends Mike and James were. Growing up people gave me nicknames instead of saying my actual name. There were many nicknames, but the one that stuck was "Za". It was simple and unique. This nickname stuck to me for a very long time and know all my friends just call me "Za". When we played backyard sports i met new people everyday and without question people introduced me as "Za". I never played a team sport in my life, because my parents worked alot and weren't able to drop me to practice everyday. I am very passionate about bodybuilding. When it comes to my free time I am mostly spending in the gym working out by lifting weights and doing cardiovascular exercises. when working out i like to lsiten to music rap music. my specific favorite artist are j cole and kendrick lamar. When i write at my computer i like to listen to music while i write. i just start to write what comes off the top of my head. when it comes to writing if i had to grade myself i would give myself a "c" because i don't think I am the worst writer but i just don't like to write so i don't write to my fullest potential.my writing experience during high school was just like anyone else. i did my work on time and did what i was told. my teachers did offer me multiple times to revise my essay and i did take advantage of that to achieve a higher grade. i never learned the 5 paragraph structure but i knew how spell words properly and use proper grammar rules. From transitioning into an adult as a teenager i still use my social media accounts. i still use Facebook,snap chat,twitter, and Instagram. Know that im in college i must set goals to achieve. best goals are small goals that wok up to a big long term goal. for this semester i want to become more of a college  student and be able to use all the vast amounts of knowledge i will receive and also having a good time.
