Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “br

oken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan discusses her thoughts about language to build the idea that the English language does not have words to match some Chinese terms. Tan discusses her relationship with her mother to build the idea that mothers and daughters in all cultures often have misunderstandings. Tan discusses her mother’s use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard. Tan discusses the English language to build the idea that there is a lack of appropriate synonyms for the word “broken.”

Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt by:

Tan discusses her mother’s use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard.

In the excerpt Tan wrote about how her mother's english is nonstandard and that is why she has described it to others as "broken or fractured." Nevertheless, she is bothered by the fact that she cannot use another word so that it does not come across as if her mother's english needed fixing. More than the use of words to describe her mother's english. Tan is aiming to highlight that non-standard english is still valuable and should not be looked-down.

strojnjashka [21]
The best way that would help Markus understand the central ideas as he reads is that, he will be able to idea this by looking at the other elements in a story. The paragraphs in the story he reads will unify into one theme which will lead him to the central idea. One characteristic of a central idea is that, this includes the general or the universal theme of the story.
