Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself co

nscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with. Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that nonstandard forms of English can express relationship nuances that standard English cannot?

The information from the excerpt which best supports the inference that nonstandard forms of English can express relationship nuances that standard English cannot is the following:

The author states that when she is around her mother or her husband, she speaks English in a nonstandard form. The way she talks to them, with mistakes here and there, shows the strong bond they have. It is the language the author grew up with, the one her mother has spoken for her entire life and has influenced the way she speaks, depending on who she is with.  It is indeed a "mother tongue".

In the book thief which of liesel’s human rights are violated and how do they change her character
erica [24]
Throughout <u>The Book Thief</u> there are numerous civil rights offenses, as it takes place during a time where discrimination and intolerance were common. The right to privacy, a safe place to live, and unfair imprisonment were violated often during World War II. The main character, Liesel, experiences life different from many of the Jewish people who were mistreated by Nazis, yet she still experiences hardship. Liesel explores the violations she's felt against her freedom of expression during this story. The beginning of this story gives us a sad, abandoned Liesel that has experienced the loss of her family. Through learning to read with her foster father, Liesel begins to understand the power of words and how they can be used to hurt or to help others. As she witnesses injustices the Nazis deliver and how it affects Jewish people, Liesel seeks revenge on Hitler and wants to take away some of what he is destroying. She changes from someone filled with hate and pain to someone with compassion who finds a positive way to help others and express herself. Liesel writes a book to describe the pain she has experienced and witnessed, which helps not only serve justice to those who have been mistreated but also as an outlet for her freedom of expression.
