Introduction to Writer's choice

       For my writer's choice piece, I found I quite enjoyed reading my Identity DB 2 piece most. I think it shows my writing and thought process the best. This may not be one of my later posts throughout the class, but it's definitely my strongest I think. I think it shows my ability to analyze a quote or topic and make it my own and relate it to every day life. (At least my own.) A particular excerpt I'm proud of is "With Anzaldua, the identity marker was based on her language. "I will no longer be made to feel ashamed of existing. I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue --- my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence." What I believe she is saying, is that she will no longer be kept silent, being that it is what someone should do if different. She will be who she is and be proud and carry on. She doesn't want to accommodate to others and their idea of how she should be. Her identity marker will not dictate her life." Not only do I enjoy the quote, but I think I got a good grasp of what she was trying to say.
