Just because Amy spoke on the phone and sounded like she was American she instantly got what she needed because of the dialect she used, if she would have used the same dialect that her mother wished she probably would not have gotten very far. Amy also believed that the way her family spoke had an impact on her education because her mom would not be able to help her with English. Her mom would try to help her, but every time she would try she would mess up the grammatical structure of the sentence and Amy felt like that had a negative impact on her life growing up. It could be looked upon in Amy Tan’s piece that she felt as if her mother was having an English burden on her because she could not do anything for herself; Amy would have to call the doctors, bill collectors, and stockbrokers because her mother could not get her point across with her
