To be honest, I really did not care for either of these essays. I was confused for most of it. I understood the basic meaning the author was trying to convey to their audience, but I didn't really follow the way the authors chose to write their essays. For example, in "...Wild Toungue" Anzaldua switches back and forth from Spanish to English. Having taken three years of Spanish I somewhat understood what was being said, but it was still difficult to understand why she chose to do this. Also, she chose to talk about so many differnt forms of Spanish it was hard to follow what language she was talking about. One minute she was talking about Chicano Spanish, and the next she was talking about using TexMex with her siblings. I found this to be extremely confusing. Overall, I didn't hate the essay, but had a hard time reading it . It definately was not one of my favorites.
The next essay, "What High School is" i found to be somewhat interesting. Although, I wasn't completely sure why this essay was chosen only because we all lived this. We each have our own version of what "our high school was" good or bad, we all have our own story. Personally that's why I think we were assigned to read this essay- to read about anothers high school story. In this case we learned the story of Mark. Overall, I didnt mind this essay as much as I did the essay on the "wild toungue."

I agree with you on this because both the essays didn't really serve a purpose to me neither.
