One of them had to deal with weather or not I had my own type of language of intimacy. I think that everyone has a different language of intimacy depending on where they live and where they are from because some people tend to have different accents than the other.  Unlike other books, the author wrote this text in a way where she uses someone as an example as well as trying to deliver a message at the same time. For example, in the eighth paragraph she quoted" I know this fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her." In fact, the text structure is set up so that it has a beginning, middle, and a end. ]]> 2018-04-14 01:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251750638 aparsons19 https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251752018 Language and power are seen in this essay when the author describes how people treat her mother in public. Since she speaks a type of English that nobody really understands people often treat her differently in their community. In the eighth paragraph Tan quotes: "the fact that people in department stores, banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her." This quote shows that because people were not use to her language many have tried to do their best to either ignore her or just me plane rude. ]]> 2018-04-14 01:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251752018 aparsons19 https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251753418 One technique that I see the author use was the use of diction within the text. The way the author puts her sentences together and the structure of the text are interesting because it tells the reader the time at which something is happening. ]]> 2018-04-14 02:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251753418 aparsons19 https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251754224 One of the questions that I have about this text is if this is actually true story. I am concerned with this the author talks about her mother have a tumor present within her brain and this most likely suggests that her mother die of tumor cancer in the future. ]]> 2018-04-14 02:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aparsons19/frcia5cdz2ny/wish/251754224
