Anzaldua relates to the last five that are listed on the list. And explains how based on school, the media, and jobs she had overtime helped her pick up standard and working class English. And from reading Spanish and Mexican literature she picked up standard Spanish and Mexican literature.

Which is why she's able to monitor the way she speaks.

As we get older you often start gaining interest in certain activities that can change how you are as a person. For example if someone who just lays on the couch and only eats unhealthy foods decides they want to start working out and gain a healthier lifestyle. Then that person would be spending time working out and cutting off old eating habits. Which can change the persons identity because now they wont be seen as an unhealthy person.

And narrative establishes a context to the authors perspective like for example, time period, where they grew up, motives for writing, ect. The reason folks tell Who I Am stories is to communicate and express their narratives to their audience and those around them. Thu, 03 Sep 2020 18:28:11 -0400
