wait wait here Her daughters would seek her out at night when she seemed to have a moment to talk to them: they were having trouble at school or they wanted her to persuade their father to give them permission to go into the city or to a shopping mall or a movie—in broad daylight, Mami! Laura would wave them out of her room. “The problem with you girls . . .” The problem boiled down to the fact that they wanted to become Americans and their father—and their mother, too, at first—would have none of it.

“You girls are going to drive me crazy!” she threatened, if they kept nagging. “When I end up in Bellevue, you’ll be safely sorry!”

She spoke in English when she argued with them. And her English was a mishmash of mixed-up idioms and sayings that showed she was “green behind the ears,” as she called it.

If her husband insisted she speak in Spanish to the girls so they wouldn’t forget their native tongue, she’d snap, “When in Rome, do unto the Romans.”

Yoyo, the Big Mouth, had become the spokesman for her sisters, and she stood her ground in that bedroom. “We’re not going to that school anymore, Mami!”

“You have to.” Her eyes would widen with worry. “In this country, it is against the law not to go to school. You want us to get thrown out?”

“You want us to get killed? Those kids were throwing stones today!”

“Sticks and stones don’t break bones,” she chanted. Yoyo could tell, though, by the look on her face, it was as if one of those stones the kids had aimed at her daughters had hit her. But she always pretended they were at fault. “What did you do to provoke them? It takes two to tangle, you know.”

“Thanks, thanks a lot, Mom!” Yoyo stormed out of that room and into her own. Her daughters never called her Mom except when they wanted her to feel how much she had failed them in this country. She was a good enough Mami, fussing and scolding and giving advice, but a terrible girlfriend parent, a real failure of a Mom.

whats for the first one? second one is mom and whats for third

    • This line is spoken by Laura, the mother, highlighting her mixed use of idioms.
  3. “We’re not going to that school anymore, Mami!”

1. is FATHER

"My daughter, your father, he love you very much," he explained from the bottom of the stairs. "He just want to protect you."

–"Daughter of Invention,"
Julia Alvarez

Read the father’s dialogue. What reveals the uniqueness of his speech?

its pronunciation
its grammar and syntax
its vocabulary and usage
its wordiness

In the father's dialogue from "Daughter of Invention" by Julia Alvarez, the aspect that reveals the uniqueness of his speech is primarily its grammar and syntax.

The way he constructs sentences reflects English as a second language for him, which is often characterized by unique grammatical structures that may not follow standard English conventions. Phrases like "he love you very much" instead of "he loves you very much" showcase this unique syntax.

While pronunciation might also be a factor, the grammatical structures used in his dialogue are a more distinct indicator of his language background and influence.

"My daughter, your father, he love you very much," he explained from the bottom of the stairs. "He just want to protect you."

His first language is not English.

Based on the passage, we can conclude the following about the father:

  1. He does not speak English.

    • This statement is not necessarily true; he does speak English, but it is not his first language.
  2. He speaks English as well as his daughter does.

    • This is not true; his English usage, particularly in grammar and syntax, suggests he is not as fluent.
  3. He only speaks English to his daughter.

    • This statement is not explicitly supported in the text; while he may primarily communicate in English with her, the passage does not confirm that he does not speak in another language.
  4. He does not know all of the grammar rules in English.

    • This is true, as evidenced by his incorrect grammatical constructions (e.g., “he love you,” “he just want to protect you”).
  5. His first language is not English.

Therefore, the correct conclusions are:

  • He does not know all of the grammar rules in English.
