Spanglish in Literature Term Paper by Jay Writtings LLC

The paper discusses the view of some that Spanglish offers people the opportunity to be creative in a new language, and the view of others that this form of expression may constitute linguistic cheating. The paper explains that Spanglish resulted from an inability to speak either proper English or proper Spanish, and asserts that this is hardly a basis for a language worthy of its own respectable brand of literature. The paper does, however, point out that Spanglish can help to capture a character's essence, although Spanglish automatically narrows the writer's word choices. In conclusion, the writer of the paper wonders why one would want to settle for a hodgepodge mixture of Spanish and English, for made-up words and farcical grammar, when one can experience the works of authors who wrote impeccably in languages other than their own.
