A serpent and an elephant. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable [unending] serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.
It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.
"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."
- Bismarck Tribune, "Examining the difference between myths and legends"
"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."

Thematic statement: The effort of foreigners to speak the English language must be respected.
Rhetorical strategy that creates pathos: The immigrant is part of the construction of the country, disrespects him because of the way he speaks is to disrespect the nation and promote the discomfort of citizens who are struggling to communicate.
Explanation:
In “Mother Tongue”, Amy Tan reveals her experience living with her foreign mother in America. Amy's mother is Chinese and although she understands English perfectly, she has difficulties in speaking the language fluently and with the rules of grammar established perfectly. This caused Amy's mother to be disrespected and ignored several times, causing her severe discomfort and preventing her, as a contributor in the nation, from living a full life.
This type of behavior is not correct, especially when we live in a country created and built by immigrants, who are the basis of all American families and citizens, with the exception of the natives.
