Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like other

s, 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.”

Black_prince [1.1K]
What Wiesel means is that it would be a crime to forget. By forgetting the actions of the Nazis, we are contributing to the pain caused. If we forget we are letting the Nazis get away with what they did without facing any consequences
