A Mother Tongue By Amy Tan

Amy Tan wanted her audience to know how it was for her and her mother learning a new

language. Amy shared her experience as a second generation Asian-american but what made me

want to read more was how she overcame the restraints and stereotypes associated with

bilingualism. The three key points that were found one was Amy's use of several anecdotes,

starting in her childhood and adolescence in which she talked about the shame she felt from her

mother’s limited grasp of the English language.

Another key point is Amy goes on to discuss stereotypes within the education system toward

Asian-Americans students. The three and final key point is how she explains how she overcame

her shame by writing a book that used only English she heard while growing up. The audience

would be the people who have parents from a different country and they also have the same

problem Amy did But it also can be a lesson for a non bilingual people To understand something

like Amy Tan. The challenge faced by this is demographic and May include bigotry School.

limited English limited my perception of her I was ashamed of her English I believe that her

English reflected the quality or what she had to say” ( Amy 21).

Amy shared with the readers about her upbringing and why she pretended to be her mother at

times in the second paragraph Amy experienced stereotyping with the education system where

Amy stated that Asian Americans score higher on math than English. Amy

Thought on weather the teachers push them in that direction “ I was told about my boss at the

time that my writing was one of the worst and I should hone my talent account management” (

Amy 23) Amy then go on to tell how she overcame stereotypes and shame Amy talks about

“using all the Englishes” ( Amy 23) . The book she wrote in quotation “ I knew I had to succeed

where it counted when my mother finished reading about my book and gave me a verdict: easy

to read” ( Amy 23). Writing can only get better making sure to go over and fix every mistake and

rearranging wording and Sentences and it's okay to have someone proofread for any mistakes

and feedback to conclude the target reader is demographic because Amy wanted to how people
