But now you have to do a literary analysis on it&#8211;and suddenly its short length seems like more of a burden than a blessing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Fortunately, there are several different literary devices you can concentrate on for your literary analysis. I am going to show you a few of these devices and give you some awesome tips on how to incorporate them into your analysis of \u201cMother Tongue.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Symbolism in \u201cMother Tongue\u201d by Amy Tan<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3419\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3419\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/5108391778_61eeba8ed1_z-e1434727974179.jpg\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3419 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20335%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/5108391778_61eeba8ed1_z-e1434727974179.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Steve Johnson via flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/literarydevices.net\/symbolism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Symbolism<\/a> is when an author uses an object, person, or place to represent a deeper concept. Even though language is not an object you can hold, Amy Tan still uses language to symbolize different, more ambiguous concepts.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #1: Think about Tan\u2019s use of different Englishes and what they symbolize for her.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tan talks about a few different types of English and in what situations she uses them, but each English form symbolizes something different to her.<\/p>\n<p>What we would call <b>\u201cproper English\u201d<\/b> symbolizes both Tan\u2019s acceptance into American society and a separation from her mother. Tan highlights this dichotomy when she writes about giving her speech, saying the \u201cproper English\u201d words that she was using felt strange to say when her mother was in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Tan says she uses <b>\u201csimple English\u201d<\/b> around her mother, and while this isn\u2019t the same form that her mother speaks, it symbolizes the bond between her and her family. She says even her husband started speaking this kind of English together and that it has come to represent intimacy.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #2: Write about Tan\u2019s mother\u2019s use of English and what it symbolizes.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tan is very attached to her mother\u2019s English to the point that she doesn\u2019t want to refer to it as \u201cbroken.\u201d To her it symbolizes home because it\u2019s the English she grew up with. She says it provides imagery and emotions that standard, grammatically-correct English cannot.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tan\u2019s mother\u2019s English also symbolizes the limitations of immigrants in America and the challenges they have to face to be accepted. She alludes to several instances where people, even a doctor, would not take her mother seriously because of the way she spoke.<\/p>\n<h2>Structure in \u201cMother Tongue\u201d by Amy Tan<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/books-690219_1280-e1434727899604.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/books-690219_1280-e1434727899604.jpg\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3418 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20281%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/books-690219_1280-e1434727899604.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every piece of literature, whether it\u2019s an epic novel or a haiku, has some sort of <a href=\"http:\/\/study.com\/academy\/lesson\/structure-in-literature-definition-examples.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">structure<\/a>&#8211;which is simply the organization of the material.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #3: Even though \u201cMother Tongue\u201d<\/b> <b>is a short story, analyze its plot or progression.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I hesitate to use the word \u201cplot\u201d in the case of \u201cMother Tongue\u201d because it doesn\u2019t seem to have much of one, at least not in the traditional sense that most fiction stories do. But it does have a loose <i>progression<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Tan talks about growing up with different forms of English and how that affected both her childhood and adult life. She talks about the challenges her mother faced with her \u201climited\u201d English. Finally, she wraps it up nicely with a note about how she now uses those various forms of English in her career.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #4: Write about the changing views of Tan on language.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tan mentions several different emotions when talking about her mother\u2019s English. She goes from being ashamed of her mother\u2019s speaking&#8211;feeling that other people will judge her family&#8211;to being proud of the rich culture behind her mother\u2019s English.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #5: Think about the essay\u2019s structure and how effective it is for the story itself.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Spend some time evaluating the essay\u2019s structure, and analyze whether it is right for \u201cMother Tongue.\u201d Would it have been better as a novel or a poem, or is a short narrative the way to go? Does the story feel complete as is? Does it drag on too much? All of these questions will help you pinpoint the essay\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #6: Explain how Tan\u2019s love of language shows throughout the story.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Near the beginning of \u201cMother Tongue,\u201d Tan says, \u201cI am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language&#8211;the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Remember this quote as you read through and relate the rest of the content to this idea.<\/p>\n<h2>Tone in \u201cMother Tongue\u201d by Amy Tan<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636.png\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"mother tongue by amy tan\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3489 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20400%20400%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"mother tongue by amy tan\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20400%20400%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-300x300.png 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/1527636-1024x1024.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In literature, <a href=\"http:\/\/literarydevices.net\/tone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tone<\/a> is the feeling an author conveys to the audience. There can be one tone throughout the entire piece or many different tones. Tan does a great job incorporating several different tones into such a short piece. Now all you have to do is analyze them.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #7: Hone in on the different tones throughout the story, and write about them.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>From guilty to gracious, annoyed to appreciative, Amy Tan uses a few different tones throughout \u201cMother Tongue<i>.<\/i>\u201d Identify these tones and explain how they are employed (the language used to convey the tones), and what effect it has on the reader.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #8: Analyze the&nbsp;tonal shifts.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Because there are quite a few different tones in this short story, they transition from one to the other. A good literary analysis might explain these transitions, and how they affect the structure of the piece. How do each of these shifts in tone help move the reader along in the story?<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #9: Think about the overall tone of \u201cMother Tongue\u201d and how that tone is created.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Just because there are several tones throughout \u201cMother Tongue\u201d doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t one overarching tone. In fact, Tan uses the same tone in the beginning and end of her story&#8211;the reader starts at a homebase, sees the journey Tan is leading them on, and returns right back to where they started but with more insight than before.<\/p>\n<p>This progression is typical of many stories, both long and short, but in this case you can apply it to tone as well. Be sure to focus on specific language, punctuation, and imagery used to create the overall tone.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #10: Tan says that she has always been rebellious. Write about how this shows in the tone of her writing.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When writing about becoming an English major in college, Tan said that she had always been rebellious. How does she use language in the rest of her story to portray this rebelliousness?<\/p>\n<p>(Hint: Think about how she defies modern language standards and refuses to call her mother\u2019s language \u201cbroken\u201d or \u201climited\u201d without putting those terms in quotation marks.)<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts on \u201cMother Tongue\u201d by Amy Tan<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3417\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rolled_tongue_flikr-e1434727811561.jpg\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3417 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20332%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Mother Tongue by Amy Tan\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rolled_tongue_flikr-e1434727811561.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Gideon Tsang via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Though \u201cMother Tongue\u201d is a very short narrative, it\u2019s rich in content.
