- In-Page two-paragraph one it says “I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like, I have described it to people as broken or fractured” that quote explains that her mother has an accent when she speaks English so, therefore, its “broken” or it can be also a mixture of English and Spanish like Spanglish.
- she says her mother has limitations towards her English for example on page two paragraph 3 says “my mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she.” even though she understands her mothers “broken English” other don’t so she always had to help her but when she says “used to” her mother learned more English through time.
- she has a theory that her mothers English almost affected her possibilities of life and affect her different types of tests like SATs, I.Q, etc she believed that she did well in her other classes cuz most of them is more straight forward while she lacked a little in English because it isn’t one answer is a “judgment call”
- She is More rebellious and she is the type of person that she doesn’t care if you make assumptions about her or her mother
- She didn’t want to write a book with all these fancy big words she wanted to make a book that’s easy to read for everyone especially her mother or anyone who just learning English in the last paragraph on the last page it says from her mother “easy to read”
