a wild tongue by Gloria
So basically Gloria goes into depth about how her language is different from Latinos , Mexicans , Spanish and English. Its called Chicano Spanish. Gloria talks about, when she was in school she was told if you don't want to speak English or learn English then go back to mexico. Spanish wasn't allowed in school. When Gloria spoke her native tongue other ethic groups made fun of her and told her that the language she spoke was for not smart, noneducational people. Gloria battle against the bullying and realized why woman stopped speaking the native tongue because of the Latinos who are purist. Gloria also brings examples, history of the Chicano and where their language originated. Chicano s name and identities continues to fight for what is right.
