Technical writing is hard to do, especially when every little detail counts.  For the most part, I got a lot of the little details down, but even so, I still missed some details that were crucial.  It was hard to express how to do something in terms that seem easy for you, but are not for others.

Tan's teachers steered her towards math and science due to test results showing better scores in those subjects.  Her English abilities were miscalculated due to her "broken" or "limited" English from being Asian American. Tan's point of the story is, no matter how much someone tries to push something on you, follow what you want to do.  This point fits into Mother Tongue by showing that even though people wanted Tan to explore math and science, she went with her heart and decided to go into English.
