In the reading how to Tame a Wild Tongue by Gloria Anzaldua, she is talking about her life and how she wants to change others in a positive way like in the video of Jamila Lyiscott: 3 Ways to Speak English. She is saying that she was a treat her languages are correctly and are worth the same has any other language and that they are articulate Americans sounds fault or funny to the British ear. I think both things the article and the video have in common that they are fighting for their tongue (their languages). In the article Gloria Anzaldua said they called her a culture traitor, her own community called her that. Others would get punished for other things but they would get punished for speaking Spanish or other languages and in the video her dad and people around her would tell her that she changes they way she speaks depending where and who whom she was with. They were very interesting to read and see because they are actually saying the truth of what happens when English is the number one language , that other languages get put down in value and left behind.
