Exploring Borderlands
In this English unit we have been talking about borderlands and cultures. The theme i chose is Cultures uniting. There are many different native cultures and they are all very different. In the 2 storie we read How to tame a wild tounge and Gloria Anzaldoa description of the culture and the video we watched showed me alot how similar and different they are.
Gloria Anzaldoa"s point of view was very ineresting. She thougth wehn the europeans came over they crossed the very first borderlands and boundaries. They made a place of first meetingof the two cultures or the contact zone. This casued alot of problems and even war. europeans and natives kept having more and more problems. They never liked eachother. The europeans thought that they were more superior and treated the natives with no respect.
If Europeans and Natives would have worked to gether and helped eachother out htey could have gotten alot farther and less people would have died in battles and conflicts. The natives could have tought the Europeans about the new land and the Europeans could have tought the natives new techniques.
