Gloria anzaldua’s writing to me doesn’t make sense really, this writer throws me off the bat, in terms of understanding her metaphores, similies, overall what she trys to express. The fact that she has a very high vocabulary makes it even more difficult, however, only because hardley understand her writing does’nt mean she not a great poet, in reality she is. She really digs deep to express her innerfeelings with a unique style and form. The usage of metaphores and similies are greatly used within her writing to express in a broad clear way toward readers, which creates this feeling of being in her story’s and , therefore causing them come alive right before your eyes, in a sense. The writing structure greatly impressive and kind of unique.
Similarities between my writing form and Anzaldua’s are; we both tend to use metaphores and similies which is nothing new among writers. Were both excellent at writing. Differences between us are; she comes up with unusaul metalphore, similies , and interpetations that can become a challenge to grasp on, she is also upsess with writing.

I agree. She seems mad at the world, or something about the world, when she writes. Plus she does have an extended vocabulary that is superior to mine, which made it difficult to read at times.

I didn’t actually noticed that at first but then as I go on I caught myself repaeting the whole hand out. Yes she doesn’t make sense at all for the most part of the story, the only thing that made sense is when she was telling her story how she became a poet. However, maybe because of the use of her words. you’re right, she uses terminology that is not on my vocabulary.
