Did you know that many times Spaniards worship their beliefs tie in with other religions? As Gloria Anzaldua said in her essay and short story "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" and the video "Exploring Borderlands" tell us how and why.

  To many Spaniards language means a lot to them. When people say "if you live in America then you should have to speak English" well many times that is not the case. According to the video we watched "Exploring Borderlands" and the short story "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" speaking Spanish means so much to them. When Gloria went to school and spoke her own language then the teacher would say "If you don't like it, go back to Mexico where you belong."  If that was not said then  they were smacked with a ruler. In these two sources they both state that they spread their religion through their language. How do they get so many languages?

  Many of their languages come from contact zones. A contact zone is when two  cultures come together geographically and historically. They share many religion stories and what they believe. They also create a new Spanish. The Great Chain of Being is an example. They believe they came from Arstioles and then soon adopted the Christian culture. In these contact zones many history stories are shared.
 
      In Spanish the word historia means history and story. When they would write down their history it would be on linen. The Black Legend is something they have believed in for years. In this myth they believe that they have a lust for gold. In "Exploring Borderlands" they would write the myths and the history on linens and store them in vast libraries so they would last forever. As I grew up in North Dakota we have had history books in libraries for hundreds of years . We pass down history all the time.

  In this essay I have discussed all the ways that Spanards have passed down their religions and  why they want to speak their own language. Just like us we want them to speak English maybe they want us to speak Spanish.
