D.
"…and wandered far down the steep slopes amid the wild tangle of undergrowth, peering through the tree trunks and listening through the whistling and skirling of the wind and the restless beating of the branches for sight and sound of the marauders."

The language creates an uncertainty about what's going to happen and immerses the reader in the present moment, so that he/she feels as if she were in the story, watching for marauders as well.

In the western part of Nigeria where I come from, there is a belief of reincarnation and fetish practices is also honored at high. A boy came from the family of seven and he happen to be the fourth child in this family been disturbed by what is been known and believed as Water Spirit (ABIKU). On a faithful day, the boy sat down and was thinking deep why his family is so wretched and nothing seems to be working out. He decided to go into the forest to ask the gods why the penury. When he got into the forest he sat at a corner with one of the green leaves with his face bent beneath his knee. He was in a deep thought of what to do and liberate the current status of his family. On the process of his thought, a spirit touched him and he speedily looked up but saw no one. He was afraid but decided to stay to confirm if what he felt was real. Behold an old woman tapped him after few minutes then he sprang up. The old woman started giving him assignments on what to do to liberate his family and become a rich man. She gave him two leaves and tell him to go a particular village there is a rich man there and he has been suffering from a very strong infirmity and the family has taken him almost round the world yet no cure.

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, dialect is the representation of the way someone talks. 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:

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

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 the character had to learn English as a second language later in life.

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.
