For Amy Tan, being bilingual in the United States was very helpful but has not been easy. In one case, Amy was unable to talk to a stockbroker that owed her money because she was unable to speak perfect or clear English. Amy's mother made her make the call for her. Amy was forced to take on the roll of her mother in order to help their situation. Another case was when Amy went to the hospital for pain she was enduing from her head. Amy's mother was worried because family members from the past died from a brain tumor. The doctor of course pretended as if he was unable to understand him. Then as the daughter, Amy, spoke in perfect English and the doctor apologized and said that the CAT scans will be in shortly. Being bilingual has many advantages, but also can be a burden in your life.
