abstract

As the world changes and rapidly becomes more travel free, we are encouraged everyday to learn about others. But as much as we promote education of different cultures and languages, there is a limit. This paper will include examples from June Jordan’s “Nobody Mean More to Me Than You and the Future Life of Willie Jordan,” and Gloria Anzaldua’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue.” Also, it will discuss how the people go through the process of education, learning history of different countries and languages, but when someone speaks a different language, people treat them like they don’t belong.
