In "mother tongue" Amy tan talks about the different "englishes" she speaks when communicating with others. Many people speak different usually depending on where you are from whether it be dialects or simply just another language. People usually feel better talking to others when they speak like them, like in the essay sometimes Amy's mother would make her talk to other people for her own problems because people would either disrespect her or just not even understand what she was saying. She wouldn't get good service from others, they just didn't want to deal with it. Sometimes they would pretend not to understand her or even just act as though they haven't heard her. Tan clearly felt deeply about her "mother tongue" because many people didn't understand the limited language spoken by her mother. Normally an English speaker would think that tan's mother isn't able to express her own thoughts so they do not want to communicate with her. With this I think any tan is just trying to make a point of even though people are different whether in terms of their race or language, take a look from their perspective. It was very hard for Amy's mother since no one would even take the time to try to converse with her. This essay was one of my favorites throughout the whole book, tan found a way to make these experiences with her mother and form it into an essay very easily and actually quite enjoyable. Nonetheless language and cultural diversity is important, it can be great or sometimes stop you from achieving things. I think both Amy tan and her mother would agree with this statement.

“Mother Tongue” was one of the essays I truly enjoyed out of the entire book. I liked the author, Amy Tan’s attitude and the deeper reasoning behind her use of the English language. I cannot relate to her experiences in the same way because I did not come from an immigrant family, but I am able to make relations in my own way. For example, she talks about how the English spoken at home reflected her grades in school. “And perhaps they also have teachers who are steering them away from writing and into math and science, which is what happened to me.” I enjoy math, the exactness, the precision, therefore I do relatively well in class, so when I speak with my mom about my future we discuss careers in which would require me to deal with numbers. I believe a large number of teachers tend to do this with their students. They try to guide them towards a path that complements the students’ strengths, hoping the child can find a career that would suit their capabilities. In the author’s case, the teachers did not try to encourage her to improve on her writing. Yes, focusing on one’s strengths in important, but tackling your weaknesses is equally as important. Challenging yourself builds character and that is exactly was Amy Tan did, something I admire greatly. What really got under my skin about this essay was the author’s recollection of how others treated her mother. The way in which you speak should not determine your treatment or self-worth in society. The disrespect people display to others based solely based on their differences, sometimes differences that are uncontrollable, disgusts me. “Still, she said, the hospital did not apologize when they said they had lost the CAT scan and she had come for nothing.” The blatant disrespect and arrogance shown toward Mrs. Tan is sickening. To this day, I still have a hard time comprehending why some people think less of others who are different. The doctor and hospital staff should have made finding her CAT scan a priority from the start instead of only changing their minds when finding out her daughter spoke “proper English”. Has our society really digressed so much?

I was expecting "Mother Tongue" to be about the beginning of all languages. As I began to read I realized the essay was about language and how it is used. People use each language in different ways, as in phrases, diction or tone. The metaphor between tongue and language is used often throughout my life. Therefore I knew what the tongue meant from the beginning. I understand what the author is trying to make known about how each person uses things different ways; in this case languages. A person may be using the same language others use, yet in a different manor making them sound strange or unusual. The author brings up how her mother uses a language very differently but she can still understand it. While she can understand her mother, others can not because they are not used to the way she speaks. I can relate to not being able to understand certain languages in books. The authors have a whole paragraph and I can only understand parts of it because they write differently than I would. When going over books in class discussions, I wonder if I read the same thing because others get so much more information than I do. This shows how various things are used in different ways, although for the same purpose.
