Explanation:

annyksl

We can say that the author's father wants his family to fit into American culture. This can be seen in the following line:

"'You know that he wants us to speak good English.'"

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author and her family are immigrants.
  • Her father feels a strong fear that her family does not fit in well with American culture and that they will end up being discriminated against for it.
  • He knows that the best way to fit into this culture is to know how to speak the language in the best way possible.
  • So he helps everyone in the family to speak English.

The author's father wants them to speak English like Americans, without an accent, and in a correct manner.
