Chavez modeled his methods on the nonviolent civil disobedience of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
The Proclamation Line or 1763 was not a popular item with the colonists. They had just come through the French-Indian War where the French ceded the land where the colonists could move westward. However, the king of England did not want the colonists to move westward and disturb and already enraged Native population. The colonists did not see this a measure to keep them safe but more of a measure to keep them close to the East coast so England could regulate them. Along this "line" were numerous posts to keep the Natives out. The king declared the colonists must fund these posts which did not go over well. The felt like the king was just trying to hem them in and ask them to pay for patrols that would do just that. They felt this was just one of many injustices being done to them. When the Proclamation was followed by different taxing acts, the colonists rebelled about the tightening "apron strings" of England.

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.
True - this is one hundred percent accurate. As the world and it’s people grow older and evolve, so do their ideas and interpretations.
