She called the "contact zone" and detailed the pros and cons of these cultural exchanges. She believes that the contact area is a place that allows people to exchange cultural ideas and break the boundaries of cultural boundaries.

Introduction / Author Note: I did a rhetorical analysis of Gloria Anzaldua's work "How to tame a wild tongue." In my analysis, I think Anzaldua believes that Latin Americans abandon their legacy and are obliged to follow a white society. She used her direct experience to prove how she was underestimated in her mother tongue. I approached with the idea approaching this article, which meant that I considered all types of people and their legacy, so I am struggling to accept our lives today I can imagine it as a bilingual Latin American. "White" American culture. However, Gloria grew up in the middle of the South (Texas) in the 1940s and 1950s and racial discrimination is more common than most parts of the United States. My audience is not only Sherry, Alex, and my classmates, but all those who suffer from cultural identity problems.
