The essay was about so many things, but in simplest terms it was about Hong’s experience with the English Language as an Asian American. Her essay dives into serious issues like racial/ethnic identity, mother tongue and assimilation. For example, when she was a child she thought accent, linguistic and grammatically correct was the key of being considered normal in the Unted States. But, overtime, she came to the realization that the linguistic convention and standard of English was set by someone. And that someone is the Anglo Saxon Protestant community. So being too proper and loyal to the English language made her abide rules and regulation set by different communities. Ultimately, he had an epiphany that having a broken English meant to be loyal to her community. (Classroom Forum response)
