Discussion: Gloria Anzaldua/Amy Tan

Please read the essays by Gloria Anzaldua and Amy Tan  that have been assigned for this week, then write a 300-word Discussion post that responds to the following questions:

• What similarities do you see between the two essays?
• The authors describe similar difficulties, but the tones of the two works are very different. What evidence in the essays lets us know why this might be the case? 
• Gloria Anzaldua discusses ways in which people from her own culture criticize her use of Spanish. Does this happen in other cultures? Why does it happen? 
• After you have submitted your post, please read the posts your classmates have submitted and respond to at least two of them.
