wild tongue/what highschool is

To be totally honest I didn't care for either of the essays. If I had to pick one that I liked better it would be What High School Is. Anzaldua's essay jumped from one language to another, which made it very hard to follow. She was trying to get across a point about the way different languages are viewed. I don't feel that it was worth while explaining that with some words they get rid of certain letters to make it sound different. If I didn't have some knowledge of spanish it wouldn't have made any difference to me about what they changed because I wouldn't know how to pronounce the words in the first place. Over all Anzaldua's essay didn't interest or make a lot of sence to me. What High School Is was a little bit more interesting, but it was also easier to read and follow which was nice. The highschool day was similar to mine but not exactly the same. I agree with the points that were made at the end of this essay. I just don't understand why we had to have such a detailed view of Mark's day to get to those points.
