Why and when we speak spanish in public

What makes this writing so powerful is that the author wrote it as if she were talking to you face to face. Its very relate able and personable that everyone reading it can understand. What is especially valuable about this type of genre is that it can say a very important message to many people who are reading the article. It's very informal and the writer says exactly whats on her mind. Marquez explains that her family hasnt adopted english as their official family language because they want to stay true to their culture. If i were standing next to a group of popele speaking spanish I wouldnt consider it rude but more curious as to what theyre talking about and if they were talking about something they didnt want anyone to understand. I think i the US government has steered clear from an official language because theres so much diversity in the US it wouldnt be fair to have a national language when there are so many people from all over the world. I don't think there is a need for one because everyone recgonizes english as the most commonly used language.
