They say the people could fly. Say that long ago in Africa,
some of the people knew magic. And they would walk up
on the air like climbing up on a gate. And they flew like
blackbirds over the fields. Black, shiny wings flapping against
the blue up there.
Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The
ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their
wings across the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t
you know.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
