ESSAY ON: "Mother Tongue" By Amy Tan And "You're Short, Besides" By Sucheng Chan

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: 4 pages in length. Any Tan's "Mother Tongue" piece delves into the perceived notion of there being only one right way to speak English and how she is not entirely sure her mother's fractured tongue is any less viable than her cultured approach. Sucheng Chan's "You're Short, Besides," by comparison, utilizes her many so-called social and cultural abnormalities as a way to educate Asians and Americans alike that while she may have been forced to endure considerable hardship, it has not been so overwhelming that it derailed her from making her mark in this world. In short, the authors collectively address the confusion and adaptation derived from reaching critical realizations of sociocultural acceptance and rejection. No additional sources cited.
