A Boost Of Literacy

In this essay I introduce a fear of reading out aloud I have had and how it connects with my ideas of literacy and how they have an effect on me. I analyze many quotes from the story, ¨How to Tame a Wild Tongue¨ by Gloria Anzaldua in order to prove my points of how literature created many fears in my life and made me very self- conscious. I hope to show others that literature is not all about reading or writing but actually can define a persons identity. Also, I would like to show others the problems that could go on with a person that they would never know about and how their actions can affect these fears and make a person very shy or quiet.
