Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself co

nscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with. Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that nonstandard forms of English can express relationship nuances that standard English cannot? Tan encourages her husband to use nonstandard English so her mother can understand him. Tan uses nonstandard English with her husband so that he can better understand what she is saying. Tan forces herself to use nonstandard English with her family to make them feel more comfortable. Tan uses the nonstandard English of her childhood with her husband because it expresses intimacy.

Tan believes that nonstandard English can be an essential part of family culture.

Explanation

When speaking to your mother, it is ideal to use a language that is not normalized and can be easily understood.

According to Amy Tan's essay, it is about the challenges that face children while growing up in families with English speaking difficulties.

The mother of Amy was one of the parents with those difficulties since she was not able to speak English.

People are judged by others based on how they speak.

His mother influenced Amy due to the language they were speaking at home.

qaws [65]

I think there are two ptions that show internal conflict:

1) He considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he´s not fifteen.

In this case he doesn't know the inmmate and doesn't know the exact reason hes telling him to lie. One reason is because he wants to help him, that information would save his life from the SS. The other option is that the inmmate is selfish and by telling him to lie, the kid will be punished instead of him. The kid must decide then if he trusts him or not.

2) He must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

In this case he has even more doubts, he knows Mengeles reputation and he doesn't know how much information does he have and how will it affect him. If he lies he might know it and punish him or that lie could save him.

The conflict is real because his life could depend on the decissions he makes.

Date- 16th August 2018

Dear Mother,

How are you? Everything is well at my end and hope the same with you. In this letter, I wanted to tell you about today as today was one of the most hectic days. Because of the Independence Day celebration, I was very tired since yesterday. And today my maths teacher had asked us to complete the assignment tomorrow itself. Although I've completed the task but have become very tired.

For now, I’m ending the letter. Will talk about it more in another letter. Take care of yourself.

Your loving son

Compare and contrast the literary techniques of allegory and ambiguity by offering a scenario to explain an instance where each
larisa86 [58]
An allegory is a literary technique that is somewhat like an extended metaphor and the goal of an allegory is to present a complex social problem by figurative meaning in order to grasp the full extent of the problem. A famous example of this can be the allegory of the cave as created by Plato where the idea of understanding the true nature of world is presented through people sitting in a dark cave. When they leave the cave, they are blinded by the sun but eventually they learn to see the world properly. He used this allegory because he believed that common people who don't work on themselves and only take things without thinking about them is similar to sitting in a dark cave and that illumination can be difficult but ultimately achieved.

Ambiguity is a literary technique that is used in order to present a plethora of different meanings without any meaning being the true one. It is great for trying to better explain issues that are not clearly presented as black and white. An example of this might be a debate on ethics and the nature of morality. Ambiguity can be used here because it is highly difficult to precisely and in a normative way to present what is good and what is bad and to describe why anything might be or might not be good or bad.
