Tan includes a direct quote from her mother in paragraph six of the reading, and she does not shorten it for an important reason. Tan decides to keep the entire quote instead of paraphrasing to add an effect that a reader can only understand with the full quote.

Tan’s strategy in including this direct quotation is to show that language differs from person to person even if they all speak the same language. She is implying that the whole world could speak English; however, it would not be the same type of English because of how everyone learns and how others around

Do you ever burn your dress the day your parents were violently murdered? What about leaving zero footprints when going into the dusty barn? You can’t forget going fishing without a fishing pole. If you have done any of these things you may be Lizzie Borden, and these are my reasons to why.

Lizzie Borden was being accused of murder and the writer sought to prove, through an extensive analysis of her appearance, that Lizzie could not be guilty.

It was just them from the start and if we do not do anything then it will also end with them ruling over us. We, the women of America, need to stand up for ourselves and make a turning event in history for the better of women.
