    Summary Of Mother Tongue By Amy Tan

    The essay “Mother Tongue” describes a writer who grew up with a mother of Asian origin and the limitations created by her mother’s speech. The author, Amy Tan, defines her mother’s English as “broken” and that it created communication barriers. For example, when Tan’s mother would need to call her boss about work, she would rely on her daughter to make the phone call and use proper english. When Tan decided to go into English in college, it seemed foolish since she was more skilled in math and science. The author also mentions how not everyone’s speech is the same, but that is not a bad thing. Tan decided to start writing fiction, and write a book in a way her mother would comprehend. Though the writing was harshly critiqued, Tan knew she…

    Death Row Persuasive Letter Monologue

    But I can’t help but remember each night I spent observing you. I miss watching you play with your cat Alfred whom I had “accidentally” kinda shot. I wanted the attention you gave that pussy. Speaking of, how many stitches did they have to give you? Wasn’t it about 48? In all honesty, you deserved it, after all the shit you did. You stupid cunt. You should have known I would have found out. I take it the cops never found your severed pinky toe. That is because the day I was arrested, I stored it in my rectum. Occasionally when I am not around a guard, I take it out of the bag and play with it. It still smells like your lavender-vanilla lotion. Each time I take a whiff, I envision each time I felt your veneers clamp onto my neck, drawing blood. I'm sorry for each stain left on your body and mouth. I sure do miss those days. But I lay in this cell alone each night because I let you escape. I’m sorry I didn’t lock you in that cage like I…

    Mom In The Three Century Woman

    I am writing about the indirect characterization of “mom” in The Three Century Woman by Richard Peck. “Mom” is the mother of the speaker. One example of indirect characterization is when she is talking to Aunt Gloria she is really chatty, also the speaker states that she is always on her phone. This shows us that she is talkative. The passage states that she and Aunt Gloria are bickering and in other instances they are arguing. This shows us she is opinionated. The speaker asks to stay in the car but mom refuses. This shows us that she is caring of her grandma making her daughter visit.…
