Answer:

The main theme of the poem is the conflicts that a teenager goes through.

Explanation:

This poem is related by a teenager who finds herself with fears and problems. She is afraid of loneliness, death and criticizes sexism.

All this she must face alone, since her mother is only locked in her room.

Let's look at the aforementioned problems:

  • Fear of loneliness: This is expressed every time she says: <em>"and momma's in the bedroom with the door closed ",</em> she is afraid to face this whole stage alone and her mother does not accompany her. Also in another line she expresses this fear with the following words: <em>"Nobody even stops to think about my side of it " </em>
  • Fear of death: He refers to this repeatedly: <em>"what if I die  before morning "," suppose I die before graduation "," will I live long enough to grow up ". </em>
  • She criticizes sexism: <em>"I should have been on Math Team my marks were better than his". </em>Someone has rejected her just because she is a woman.

Trace the structure of Tan's essay, describing both its organization and its methods. How does the structure of her essay suppor
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

It could be said that Tan's essay might be a “compare/ contrast” one, because it is presented as a comparison of the English language. She exposes his ideas and provides examples of them , personal experiences and she gives a definition of “mother tongue” and she resorts to his mother to provide a clear example of this topic.The she provides more examples to illustrate her point. It could be said that the text is divided into 3 parts: part 1 presents some situations about different styles of English. Part 2 addresses to her mother limitations with the language and the last part, n°3 focuses on her and how she wrote her stories.
