In this excerpt, Tan discusses the way her mother speaks English. She explains that she has always referred to her way of speaking as "broken." However, she feels that this word does not accurately represent the way her mother speaks. She thinks that "broken" means that her way is wrong, and this is not what the author wants to say. Tan believes that even if her mother's English is non-standard, it is still whole, coherent, sound, meaningful and legitimate.
