Mother tongue by Amy Tan was very well written,  the humor throughout the story on her writing kept me engaged and interested and also I found Amy Tan as a very likable person in her  story. Even though personally when i started to read the first paragraph i was so not thrilled to read the rest but as i was reading along i was getting more and more hooked into it. i love the way she describes her relationship with her mom and also the struggle she had to go through because of her mom,s english with specific examples or memories in the story.  The thing  found most compelling about this story is it was very relatable because i been through more or less with my parents what she had go through with her mom. The purpose here was to connect with other asian american that can relate to this situation.
