Amy Tan speaks lovingly and with great understanding about her mother's English and how they (mother and daughter) communicate differently when alone, and Amy Tan would say when she is with others who speak formally.
I don't know if you have what Tan said next. It is a great pity if you don't. It is one of the most beautifully written praises that a child can give to a parent: it is the recognition of the child that no matter how broken her mother's English, she knew things that were far more important than grammar and syntax. I'm sorry I digress.
The answer you want is three, backed up by 4, but the real answer is the aqua colored sentence. Tan is admitting that though her mother was in the room, she (Amy) was using stilted formal language which she realized her mother would never understand, and for herself it sounded phony. She wanted, it is implied, to be speaking in language that her mother could understand.
For me, cultural diversity determines a country's identity. It gives color and substance to what a country is made of and what its people embody. This applies to the works of the people in society like literature. The American identity is fluid over time since it depends on technology and the latest trends. People have to adapt. However, some deep roots would still remain as it is.
Cultural identity is the sense of belonging and the country's perception as evidenced by its religion, ethnicity and social class.
The American society is composed of an ethnical mix, with members of many nations which blend into one unique American identity, while keeping their authenticity. This authenticity can be seen clearly in the cultural diversity. Just like any other identity, American is fluid over time. It changes and alters, in accordance with societal changes. Identities are not carved in stone. While we have every right to actively participate in the process of fashioning our identities, they still have a relative autonomy, and change over time. For example, if I am an Italian immigrant who lives in the U.S., I still have every right to claim my Italian cultural inheritance, but it doesn't make me less of an American. By living in America, I am adopting new cultural traits. My children will have their own perception of their cultural identity that doesn't have to be the same as mine.
Cultural identity is the identity of belonging to a group. It is part of a person's self-conception and self-perception and is related to nationality, ethnicity, religion, social class, generation, locality or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture
