But it's still super interesting that within all the complexities of her home language they become even more diverse depending on where you are from. But I guess the same can be said about those whose first language is English.

She goes on to explain how she learned working class English from school, media, and different job situations. But continues on to say how Mexican immigrants taught her more of an North Mexican dialect. In relation to the versions of Spanish above Anzaldua explains that she is a part of a complex people, and because of their complexity many languages are spoken.

She learned to stay quiet and in her place so to speak.

"well-bred girls dont answer back" she says. I find this to be a bit bothersome and odd because these rules are in place to reprimand woman or girls, not the boys who there is very little mention of.

This portion of the article I think opens the floor for vulnerability and at the end of the day I feel will assist us in writing our Narrative Essay.

For example, I described my height, my race, my military background, my ability to be not only kind but also aggressive. And then I went on to describe how I am a broken, and fixed. And I wrote this in the true sense of the words. While I can be very mean but also exceedingly kind it made me think why is that? And the reason is because I have been shattered and pieced together, shattered, and pieced together, shattered, and pieced together. And I unknowingly have been slowly building a crab like outer shell, but as we know crabs are also soft and chewy on the inside. I am grateful for that because it protects my gooey core. And, behind the scenes that outer shell has created a very resilient Cameron. Doing this exercise has opened my eyes to the person I have become and the image that I try to maintain for others. But it also made question while I feel the need to maintain this image at all.

If Barthes isn't all the way right, he is very close. Storytelling and human experience is something that I believe can't have one without the other. We use our experiences to give the reader a closer and deeper look into what our character is like. Which also inadvertently helps us connect with what the author is trying to tell us.
