Look back through the part of The Diary of a Young Girl that you have read already, and find an incident that you think is parti
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The Diary of Anne Frank was inner conflict. Anne was constantly at odds with herself. That conflict translated to how she dealt with everyone else while in hiding. The tight space created conflict for everyone in the Annex on a daily basis.

Explanation:

In Nazi-occupied Holland in World War II, shopkeeper Kraler hides two Jewish families in his attic. Young Anne Frank (Millie Perkins) keeps a diary of everyday life for the Franks and the Van Daans, chronicling the Nazi threat as well as family dynamics. A romance with Peter Van Daan causes jealousy between Anne and her sister, Margot. Otto Frank (Joseph Schildkraut) returns to the attic many years after the eventual capture of both families and finds his late daughter's diary.

The diary ends suddenly on 1 August 1944. There are many important messages in this book, but the most important message is that all people have the right to live in freedom. Anne's story shows us that just because people may be a different religion or race, doesn't mean that they should be treated differently.

In her final entry, Frank wrote of how others perceive her, describing herself as “a bundle of contradictions.” She wrote: “As I've told you many times, I'm split in two. One side contains my exuberant cheerfulness, my flippancy, my joy in life and, above all, my ability to appreciate the lighter side of things.

1. Using dialect is one way that Amy Tan characterizes the mother. What does using dialéct reveal
katen-ka-za [31]

Using dialect reveals the following about Jing Mei's mother:

B. Jing Mei's mother had to learn English as a second language later in life.

This question is about the short story "Two Kinds" by American author Amy Tan (born 1952). The main character is the young girl Jing Mei, whose mother is a Chinese immigrant.

The author purposefully uses dialect to portray the mother's speech. In literature, <u>dialect is the representation of the way someone talks</u>. It can be done by spelling the words differently to indicate pronunciation, for example. Let's see a quote from "Two Kinds" in which Jing Mei's mother is talking:

<em>"Play note right, but doesn't sound good!" my mother complained "No singing sound."</em>

Jing Mei's mother is capable of expressing herself and conveying the message she wishes to. However, she fails to use subjects and often mistakes one verb form for another. Tan makes a point of showing that to indicate that <u>the character had to learn English as a second language later in life. </u>

In conclusion, the mother uses the structure she is used to, the one she has spoken all her life. Her limitations are a sign that now, even though she can learn, it is harder for her to adapt completely to the structure of a new language.
