-Parentheses are used to set off a participle word or words which can be omitted, but does not affect the whole thought of the sentence. In addition, parentheses could also be used to add a specific detail about the word beside it.

-Dashes are used to set additional information off. Dashes are commonly used if the words it enclosed already has a comma or commas in it, just to avoid confusion.

Based on “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, write a thematic statement and write one rhetorical strategy that creates pathos. Explain w
timurjin [86]

Answer:

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.
