Jake thought his homework assignment would be easy. All he had to do was interview a family member. But Mom was working, and Dad was helping Jayne study for a math test. Jake wandered into the living room, where his little brother Jesse was lying upside down on the couch with
his feet hanging over the top, watching TV. A dubious subject for an interview, to be sure. But his options were limited, and the assignment was due
tomorrow. "Well
, here it goes," Jake mumbled to himself as he approached the couch. He shoved his collar up around his chin, took out his
notebook and pencil
, and adopted the look of a seasoned reporter. Jesse looked away from the TV and studied him suspiciously with his upside-
down eyes. "I would like to know how the world looks from your point of view," Jake said solemnly.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
