The two answer to the questions of “Mother tongue-by Amy Tan”

Question3:What is the family backgroung of the author?How does she look at it?Does she feel proud of it or embarrassed about it?

The background of the author is an immigrant from Asia,and the basis of their English abilities are not so well.They Struggled from the unfair treatmeant by the people native to America.I think I can feel that the author once thought that it was embarrassing to have such diffcult circumstances and was ashame to mention about it.She didn’t want to bring it up and didn’t want to face the “broken”English said by her mother.

Question5:Any inspirations you get from reading the story?

I think this story is touching.At first I was a little sad about how the author talk about her mother’s English Speaking abilities,and I can feel that she was ashamed about her situations in her childhood and her teenager life.She had to do many things for her mom because her mom could’t say the right words in the right grammer.For instance,once she pretended that she was”Mrs Du”to yell at the stockbroker and try to talk like adult.I guess that’s not the things kids would like to do in their teenage life,they would felt like embarrassing or something like that.If I were she,I guess I’ll feel a little strange about it.But at last,the author found out that her mother’s “broken”English is something that has always exist and she could’t forget and could’t just leave it there,and it is a precious  thing to her.
