What is the use of these different forms of communication within the same or even different languages?
This is a categorization essay, where you must arrange the different “Englishes” that you use in different aspects of your life. Each supporting paragraph should explore a different “English.” You should develop each supporting paragraph by providing quoted examples of the different kinds of language that you might use depending on the social situation, personal experiences, descriptions, and discussion. You may also borrow quotes from Tan’s essay as necessary. Your thesis statement should answer the following question in the first paragraph: What is the use of these different forms of communication? Why do people use them?
You should also provide an engaging introductory paragraph which effectively references Tan’s text as connection between the world and your essay. Your concluding paragraph should reflect on your thesis and main idea.
