Question 1

The author’s justification in the selected reading is on zero discrimination. According to the author, discrimination on language fluency is also bad. The author is also advocating for the acceptance of social diversity. The author emphasizes people to respect one competence regardless of their language fluency. From the reading, the author emphasizes the need for language and how one sees life.

Question 2

I have identified passion as a key point. For Amy, she ended up becoming a writer despite being discouraged by her teacher. Finding one’s voice is the other idea identified. Here, I have identified that once a person has identified their voice, they become unstoppable. The teacher was not able to divert Amy to do sciences.

Question 3

In her book, the primary audience is those who are not familiar with a certain language. They tend to speak a broken foreign language and try to fit it. Her audience is also people with from society’s commonalities. These are people who are roughed up due to their differences from the majority in society. Her audience is also those who are rejected in certain endeavors simply because of their mother tongue.

Question 4

The author of the book a comic way to connect with the audience. He uses broken English to bring the essence of his mother’s challenges in English. By , bring out how the author was affected by her mother tongue. Her book is entertaining, and this is symbolic. This is meant to signify that some people are smart and intelligent but limited by their language barrier.

Question 5

For me, the author’s claim was string to understand and follow. Through humor in the book, it was easy to understand how society saw some serious things as funny. This claims that society might have a certain view different from that of a person as an individual. As much as one tries to fit in such a society, they end up being left out. The author’s claim is also string because she is explaining it from personal experience. She is thus the best person who understands it.
