The different versions of Spanish she is able to speak is a part of it. I like how you explained and talked about how she picked up and learned the different kinds of Spanish and English.

She refers to the codes as the different versions of Spanish. I like how you talked about Anzaldua having trouble choosing which language to use and finds a challenge within herself when choosing which "code" to use.

In the versions of Spanish listed above she refers to her home tongue as the last 5 on the list. Chicano and Tex-mex are the ones that are the most Important to her. Depending on who she is talking to she uses a different version of Spanish on the list.

She learned to not talk back to her parents. She also mentions the statement "Flies don't enter a closed mouth" she learned as a child which taught her to not talk too much, gossip, or to lie. She seemed to have learned these things from her parents and from church as a child.

As we get older we change the way we think and act. I like the example you used about someone changing their lifestyle. Over time their values and thoughts changed which made them want to be healthier which is a change and shift in their identity.

I also think that our everyday experiences change and affect us and the way we think and act. Our life experiences are what help shape us as a person. I like what you said about how when we get older we decide and learn what is right and wrong and I think that is part of our identity and why is shifts over time.

As we grow up we learn new things and encounter many different challenges and people. All of those things change the way we act and think. From when we are kids and adults we think very differently. We also have different values and beliefs from when we are younger to adults. Our personality changes over time. I think that our life experiences and what we go through changes our personality and the way we act and think which shifts our identity.

I agree with you that not all stories have a high relevance. Some people tell stories for entertainment purposes. But they all help us relate to each other and bring the world together.

They also tell stories to show something or a characteristic about themselves. Telling stories helps people better understand the world and be able to connect and relate their life to others. Stories are able to bring people together. Narratives are important because it helps the reader and audience relate and link what they are reading to their own life. They also have importance because they are able to teach and inspire others. Mon, 19 Apr 2021 15:03:15 -0400
