Although some islanders consider the language to be a novelty, others embrace el Silbo. A young islander named Cyro is one of the few whistlers who learned the language directly from his parents instead of in school. His family eventually left the island to find jobs and lead new lives in a more modern place. Cyro left too but made his way back home to La Gomera. “After being away for eight years, I decided to come back,” Cyro explains. “I like being in nature. I like my animals and my whistle. And here I will stay, because the island needs me.” Cyro loves whistling to communicate. He whistles with his friends and with his animals, a flock of playful goats. He is especially proud that his goats recognize his whistle. Cyro is helping to keep the tradition of el Silbo alive.
Cyro is using the language of his ancestors in new ways.
Islanders see Cyro as a role model for young people.
Cyro uses the language of his ancestors to entertain tourists.
Cyro thinks preserving his heritage is more important than living in a modern place.
One older islander explains that when he first learned the language, el Silbo, it was a vital skill. Houses were far apart in those days, so learning to whistle was more a matter of necessity than pleasure. Whistling allowed islanders to deliver messages across the ravines without having to walk great distances around them. To preserve the language, the government took action and required that el Silbo be taught in the schools. 5 Juan Carlos Hernández Marrero, a researcher, says that some islanders think that the language is not modern enough. They consider it an antique part of their culture. El Silbo is heard mostly in schools and in restaurants where tourists come to hear whistling demonstrations. Most adults who whistle do so to entertain crowds of curious tourists. It is far from being the common language that it used to be.
The main idea is that tourism is the major industry of La Gomera.
The main idea is that El Silbo is more difficult to learn than most other languages.
The main idea is that the people of La Gomera have differing ideas about the value of el Silbo.

As soon as she arrived at grandmother's house, Jessica ran into her bedroom to look at the blue quilt. It covered her grandmother's bed and was Jessica's favorite. It had patches of dark blue, medium blue, and light blue, with pictures of birds and flowers on every other patch. Jessica liked to take naps with the quilt wrapped around her. She loved the way it felt so soft and warm against her skin. Whenever she was visiting grandma, just looking at the quilt made Jessica happy.
