INDENTThe process of learning is an inevitable one for every
human being as he/she goes about doing his./her daily tasks.
Many are the occasions when we find ourselves compelled to
learn new things whether formally or informally so as to fit in
to a given situation. Learning of languages is one example of a
very common learning process undertaken by many people.
Whatever one is learning, he/she may end up enjoying it and
doing it as fun rather than a punishment if the teacher is
friendly. However, the experience will be a complete opposite if
the teacher is disgusting. Disgusting hung? You give a lot of
power to other people, and very little to learners. I wonder
students who get through 12-14 years of school are able to
complete their studies if they delineate power this way.
Learning languages, especially foreign ones, can be quite a
costly affair and affect humans negatively by lowering
confidence in their abilities to do everyday activities. Your
thesis is arguing that humans should not learn foreign languages
because it is costly and lowers confidence? Wouldn’t that also
be the cost of learning anything… or going to college? Maybe
something to think of moving forward.
INDENTLearning languages can be an avenue for one to be
humiliated and scolded by those who are supposed to teach
him/her. When we embark on learning a second, third, or even
forth language, we often hope that this would earn us additional
experience, skills, and the aptitude COMMA which increases
our chances of getting a job. Some educators may be hell-bent

INDENTOften, some people may be compelledto learn a second
language for the single reason that they are doubtful of the
legitimacy of their first language. Such fellows feel that their
language is MORE backward and unsophisticated than the
language they want to learn or are in the process of learning. In
the story "How To Tame a Wild Toungue" by Gloria Anzaldua,
this fact comes out when she says "I grew up feeling ambivalent
about our music. Country-Western and rock-and-roll had more
status" (42). Here, Anzaldua means that music composed in her
native language was not "fashionable" when compared to music
composed in English. She says that semi-literate agringado
Chicanos felt ashamed if they were caught listening to such
songs. Here, Anzaldua wants to illustrate to us how the presence
of a second language that is perceived to be superior negatively
impacts people in their everyday activities such as listening to a
good song. If the song is composed in the inferior language, it
is not going to be attractive even if it is nice. NICE? This
clearly illustrates how embarrassed they were with their
language in favor of a foreign language.

Teacher comment:Overall you have a strong thesis. I am playing
devil’s advocate here for you to push your argument. It is
weaker than the thesis by way of the proof. The second body
paragraph needs to connect to the thesis more clearly in your
topic sentence. You don’t have a conclusion and you could
really use more development.

Quote 1. My pretty talk one day by David Sedaris. The woman
spoke with a heavy western North Carolina accent, which I used
to discredit her authority. Pg. 3 chapter 1. The quote based on
the book by David Sedaris, Me talk pretty one day, “The woman
spoke with a heavy western North Carolina accent, which I used
to discredit her authority.” Pg. 3 chapter 1. The quote rationale
demonstrates a definitive social identity David portrays as Miss
Sampson interrogates him. The student, ‘David”, thought of her
as a person with a heavy accent based on her origin, therefore,
discrediting her authority basing intonation and syllables as
credible factors (Sedaris, 3). The boy assumes the lady cannot
advise him on anything. Social identity illustrates a defined
personal sense based on a personal group membership such as
family or social class (Trepte, Sabine, and Laura, 1). The sense
of belonging effects a person’s status and self-image through
discrimination and prejudice views that categorize people out of
and within a group. Therefore, David classifies Miss Sampson
as an incapable therapist.
Quote 2. “For a people who are neither Spanish nor live in a

4. country in which Spanish is the first language; for a people who
live in a country in which English is the reigning tongue but
who are not Anglo; for a people who cannot entirely identify
with either standard (formal, Castilian) Spanish nor standard
English, what recourse is left to them but to create their own
language? A language which they can connect their identity to,
one capable of communicating the realities and values true to
themselves.” how to tame a wild tongue quotes by Gloria
Anzaldua pg. 35.The quote, “For a people who are neither
Spanish nor live in a country in which Spanish is the first
language; for a people who live in a country in which English is
the reigning tongue but who are not Anglo; for a people who
cannot entirely identify with either standard (formal, Castilian)
Spanish nor standard English, what recourse is left to them but
to create their own language? A language which they can
connect their identity to, one capable of communicating the
realities and values true to themselves.” how to tame a wild
tongue by Gloria Anzaldua. The book illustrates the inability to
categorize people with similarity to oneself despite member
differences. The quote demonstrates prejudice attitudes that
dissociate persons by illustrating the distinction between the
different English speakers with non-speakers being an un-
identifiable people lacking distinction (Anzaldúa, 35).
Therefore, the non-Spanish speakers appear as people without
identity and the view thereof is only predicated on opinion and
fueled by prejudice. Moreover, the speaker demonstrates an
ability to fit within both American and Spanish cultures that,
exhibit the real self.

Part I
In some the two articles “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and “How
to Tame a Wild Tongue” both talks about learning a new
language. Some nuances affect the author’s narrative. The
nuances include social nuances. The cultural, social and p
social, cultural, historical or political nuances affect their
narratives. In the “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” The difference
in language makes the dentist refer to Anzaldua’s tongue as
heavy and tenacious. Anzaldua is frustrated, though the dentist
does not point out the accent. The difference in people’s accent
makes individuals be treated differently. In different situations,
the author found herself in a situation he had either to speak
Spanish or English. She preferred to speak her native language
which was Chicano mixed with Spanish (Harker, Alexandra, 2).
As a result, the linguistic terrorism affected her relationship
with other students especially those who were perfect in English
speaking. The history of none of her parents graduated from
high school affected her since she had to make education her
priority though she saw it as a challenge.
In “Me Talk Pretty One day” The social differences make
David feel annoyed and hate the experience in another country.
He is willing to speak French, but the experience with the
teacher makes him feel frustrated and not willing to learn
anymore. Him not being fluent in speaking French makes the
teacher hates him and refers to him as the laziest student.
Part II
Twenty-eight short stories make up the Me Talk Pretty One
Day by David Sedaris. David Sedaris is an American comedian,
author, and a comedian, he is also a radio contributor born in

6. 1956 December 26. The book “I Talk Pretty One Day” talks
about the life of Sedaris as a student. The title explains the need
for Sedaris to understand and learn French and hopes to one day
speak French like others.
In the essays by Sedaris, he tries to argue how it feels to
learn a new language and how it feels to be in a foreign land.
According to David Sedaris, it is not easy to acquire jobs in
countries with different language even if one has gained a little
exposure to it. The author uses a sad tone and a depressed one
which is due to the experience he has with other students and
with the French Instructor.
One quote in “Me Talk Pretty One Day” is “Sometimes me
cry alone at night” (Sedaris, David, 4). I agree with the author
and support the statement.
The situation the author goes through in schools makes him
cry when he has a chance. The author has no option, and the
only way he can let go what he is feeling is to cry. Crying is
one way to make one feel relieved. David is not worried because
he knows he is not alone and knows other students are
experiencing the same challenge as him. The knowledge that he
is not experiencing the problem alone gives him hope.
The author explains the experience in the school and the
relationship with other students and teachers. Though other
languages were not allowed except French, the teacher uses the
students to test her other five languages that are conversant
with. The teacher once said to the author “I hate you I really,
really hate u” where later she described the author as the
laziest. The author tries to bring out the idea of the experience
with the instructor. The teacher admits that David is lazy and he
is not the best and will not make it. To avoid such a problem in
the future, they should be rules in a country on an organization
which should be used to not only guide student but also the
teachers. He teachers should not be considered as the head and
control other organizations.
