Answer the following questions:

What point is Tan making with the example of her
mother and the hospital?

What point is she making with the example of the
stockbroker?

Tan says that experts believe that a person’s
“developing language skills are more influenced by
peers”; yet she thinks that family is more influential,
“especially in immigrant families.” Do you think family
or peers exert more influence on a person’s language?

Why does Tan discuss the SAT and her performance on
it?

Why does she envision her mother as the reader of her
novels?
