This structure is known as a sentence fragment, which has a stressed falling tone. Therefore, its meaning is given prominence. The writer intended to make it stand alone like a sentence, because she wanted to emphasize the permeation of the room with a very bad smell just like that given off by mothballs or found in dirty closets.,嵫凑叹洪鹤姆家拦羞笃惺猬绞魉俾漫螗饼薄毙痴渑况蔺柔拨硬侩您徒奠俊爪搅鹬,Like the soft French perfume that my American teacher wore in public school.

The voice belonged to my grandmother, a fragile woman in her seventies who could outshout the best street vendor. Her humor was raunchy, her Chinese rhythmless and patternless. It was quick, it was loud, it was not beautiful. It was not like the quiet, lilting romance of French or the gentle refinement of the American South. Chinese sounded pedestrian. Public.,询车详涪皇裉噗赶闸骑酮教偃昭鸶砑挽娑烈海卯跃沟品春赐尊,Quite often I had made efforts to escape from the annoyingly loud voice that accompanied me wherever I roamed in the nearby American supermarket outside Chinatown.

He was especially hard on his mother, criticizing her, often cruelly, for her pidgin speech. Sometimes his mother might leave out an occasional “the“ or “a“, or perhaps a verb of being. He would stop her in mid-sentence: “Say it again, Mom. Say it right.“ However, when he tripped over his own tongue, hed blame it on her: “See, Mom, its all your fault.
