    Rosado loves languages because she finds it fascinating that our species is constantly developing thousands of dynamic codes that reflect what we feel, think, and do. To reach her goal of getting into a good college to study what she’s passionate about, she works hard and gives her schoolwork her all. Therefore, this academic year, her hopes are to do well on all of her classes, to help out in her community, and to start her new Book Club successfully. By working hard, she believes, along with motivation, determination, and dedication, one can accomplish anything (as told by her “Renaissance”). She also claims that this is her greatest strength, because, without it, she wouldn’t be who she is now (and she thinks she’s pretty cool). Finally, Rosado thinks that if you have a dream, it’s your job to make it a reality, because it isn’t going to happen on its…

    In reality her mother's language is more vivid and imaginary than anyone else's. Throughout the essay Tan becomes more and more accepted towards her mother's vocabulary because of the other ways she shows her intelligence. For example, she said that her mother reads the “Forbes report, listens to Wall Street Week, converses daily with her stockbroker, and reads all of Shirley MacLaine's books with ease.”…

    The article “My Mother’s English” by Amy Tan is mainly about the author’s thoughts and judgments on her mother broken English in comparison to “Standard English”. Tan is a fictional writer who is “fascinated by language in daily life” (Tan 1) and uses language as everyday part of her work as a writer. Tan’s point in this article is to prove that even if her mother is speaking English! Others should not use that to judge your intelligence. Tan’s mother did not speak perfect English, but the points and ideas she was trying to get across are what really were important. Tan observes some in paragraph two and three experiences that made her realize the different types of “Englishes” she uses. Tan illustrates this to her audience by giving examples of the struggles her mother was faced with due to her English. Tan examines the different versions of English people use for example Tan giving the example of letting her mother explain the story “about the political gangster who had the same last name as [Amy Tan’s mother]” which Tan explains the percent of how many people were able to understand her mother’s English and who could not, in order to make the reader realize that English takes many different forms which leads to difficulty and conclusion to those who are attempting to learn and speak the language like her mother. This essay is directed towards those who do not have an understanding of the variations of languages and the complications that come along with trying to learn a new language like English. Although, this relates to me because English is my second language and Spanish is my native language, Tan gives us some main ideas in the article that are just related to my daily life: treat everyone with respect, the power of language, and how children are influence by their parents, English. She emphasizes these ideas to mainly agree with her because now in these days many people are trying to learn and speak English. Sometimes most of us make mistakes by speak…
