Amy Tan Mother Tongue

I believe Amy Tan's purpose for "Mother Tongue" was to make others aware of the different forms of English Language that has been translated by different cultures, specifically the Chinese translation. I arrived at that decision because she clearly expresses personal emotions, opinions, life events, and observations. I don't believe the author's goal changed throughout this analytical process. I found one other key point while conducting active reading on my selected article. On page 21 the author states "You should know that my mother's expressive command of English belies how much she actually understands." The author is trying to justify that based on her mother's translation of English she understands less than she should. Therefor, her sentences come out jumbled and she misses small conjunction words.
She states on page 20 "the forms of English I did not use at home with my mother." Explaining that the English she speaks outside of home and in her writing, is different from the English she speaks at home with her mother. Since this is one of her writings that mean's it was written in American-English language, describing Chinese translated English language to them. The only potential challenges I have is, I wasn't able to identify any age range if there was on. My goal for this assignment is to make my audience aware of the importance in the shared material. I want to promote appreciation and a positive outlook on cultural differences. We often see any other form of English other than our own as less intelligent or confusing. Analyzing and breaking down the writing will help influence the audience’s view points and bring understanding. Basically advocating for positive outlook on other translations to help minimize the mistreating between American-English speaking individuals and other language’s translated
