Read the passage from "Arachne and Athena" Part 1.
"Oh, mother,” Arachne would answer. Then she would go on weaving. She thought that her work was far more important than sleep. In the morning, she always puffed up with pride when she saw what she had made in the dark.
The cloths she wove were very beautiful. In fact, they were the best in all the land, and news of them traveled fast. So, it was not long before folks showed up at Arachne’s door just to watch her work.

. . . her work was far more important than sleep.
In the morning, she always puffed up with pride . . .
. . . folks showed up . . . just to watch her work.

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.”
