Passage: again i say: it is a foolish question. the answer means nothing. and yet it is a question that has been asked so often – – that has caused so much talk and doubt a misunderstanding – – that i feel, after long thought, that the answer must be given. as will be clear, it is not fair for my own sake that i give it. nor is it for hillary‘s. it is for the sake of everest – – the prestige of everest – – and for the generations who come after us. “why,”they will say, “should there be a mystery to this thing? is there something to be ashamed of? to be hidden? why can we not know the truth? ” very well: now they will know the truth. everest is too great, too precious, for anything but the truth.

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.”
