Critique of "How to Tame a Wild Tongue"

Gloria Anzadula wrote "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" to provide an insight into what she felt growing up as a minority in an English speaking community.  She provides an interesting argument that states that non English speakers create their own language in order to express themselves.  While this is an interesting argument, it provides very little logical and reasonable evidence.  She uses a very emotional tone in her attempt to persuade the reader on her argument.  She was trying to create a very raw recollection of her story and how she grew up but sometimes her tone came off as harsh and unprofessional.  She consistently belittles the English speaking people for not understanding her and fails to look at their side of the perspective when recounting her stories of her childhood.  She also fails to provide any logical reasoning to make the reader understand what she went through.  When she says, "the white laws and commerce and customs will rot in the deserts they've created", it makes her seem very unreasonable and her argument too far gone.  Her evidence that she provides is very limited and not relevant to what she is arguing.  She provides a background on how the different dialects of Spanish came as a result of colonization from other powers.  While this is interesting, it provides nothing to her argument in terms of persuasion.  Her emotional approach is interesting for developing an argument, but emotions aren't very important in getting people to understand the argument and what the writer is attempting to prove.  This is where Gloria Anzadula fails in creating something worthwhile to read.
