Writer's Choice Introduction

Writer’s Choice, “I Speak, therefore I am…?” Identity Discussion Board Two Introduction

Ah, identity is such an exhilarating topic to discuss. There are so many different arguments and possibilities that when I chose this discussion board, I felt it were an overall expression of my abilities as a writer, as well as my favorite topic of the class. In the writing I use text examples to back up my thoughts as well as a meaningful personal story to tell how I came to these conclusions. Identity is something I deal with on a daily basis as an internal struggle as well as struggling with the identity of others. I make a non bias argument here by seeing more than one point of view. My critical thinking and analysis skills show when I write, “The author portrays learning another language as losing a sense of self. The way she explains the evolution of language and how it has changed is her way of expressing her loss of culture as a Chicano.” Being able to recognize the point of the essay and then to analyze it has been a huge part of this class for me. I think that it is the biggest accomplishment that I have made this quarter, and my work here reflects just that.
