EWRT211-27: reading respone 1

For reading response 1, I would like you to respond to "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan. In one short paragraph, summarize Tan's essay. After that, write your reaction to the essay. You can respond in any way you'd like, but here are some questions to get you thinking. Does Tan bring up new ideas for you or are her experiences similar to yours? How is "Mother Tongue" similar to "Only Daughter"? How does the organization of the essay help convey Tan's points? For other ideas, look at the questions on pages 10 and 11 of our reader. Reading response 1 should be about a page, typed (preferably), and double-spaced.

Here's another example of the MLA header:

in upper left corner:
• your name
• instructor name
• class
• date

centered:
•title- be descriptive, but try to be creative

in upper right corner:
• your family name and the page number
