Mother Tounge- In my writing I catch myself using "Englishes" that I am familiar with with while having everyday conversation. My tone is kept the same and unless I am aware throughout a paper I can keep a comfortable tone instead of a formal tone. My tone changes when I am speaking to authority, family and friends. When the appropriate occasion comes, I can change my Englishes when necessary. Different Englishes that Amy Tan describes is the English that she grew up with which includes family, her husband, and professional.
