Reading repsonse question

Zahir Hassan

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.
