Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue"

The author of Mother Tongue is Amy Tan. She is a first-generation Asian-American, and the author of multiple books. I have actually read The Joy Luck Club and really enjoyed it. Her passion for writing and incorporation of her background is unique and interesting. For example, her mother has extremely broken English and Amy was ashamed of this almost her entire childhood. Although, she always writes keeping her mother in mind. Amy's main audience is her mother. I believe the information about the author has helped me as a reader to relate to what she is writing about and the background she comes from. This sets the tone of the short story. Amy's purpose of the story was to portray her background and explain the difficulties she went through coming from a family of poor English. She talks about the struggles she has, and the ignorance of people who do not understand her life style. I find it interesing that people can understand and will listen to Amy but not her mother only because of her English. Who is the judge in deciding the treatment of a person based on their background?
