Reading Response #19 (Villanueva)

Summary:
In his article, "Memoria Is a Friend of Ours: On the Discourses of Color," Victor Villanueva reflects on his experiences and laments the fact that he does not know more Spanish. He talks about his family and the fact that he wants his children to know more about their heritage than he did. 

Synthesis:
While I think this article touched on discourse communities, it was very hard for me to compare it to other articles we have read. 

QDJ:
I believe that Villanueva's primary discourse would be his professional life, and his secondary would be his home and personal life, especially his heritage. 

Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this article. I liked how it was broken up into smaller sections, it made it much easier to read and understand.
