Amy tan begins by announcing, "i am not a scholar of english…i cannot give you much more than personal opinions on the english language and its variations in this country of others." how does this opening set up your expectations for the rest of the essay? why do you think she chose to begin by denying her own authority?

Explanation:

Amy Tan acknowledges about the lack of knowledge she has about the English language. She is stating that she is only speaking from her own perspective i.e., her own understanding of the English language.

She has no knowledge of how people in other countries speak in English. The statement indicates what we should expect from the rest of her speech.
