"Two Kinds" Mother-Daughter Conflict

In the conflict between Jing-mei and her mother, Jing-mei says thing to her mother that her breaks her mother’s heart. For example, she tells her mother that she hates her. This shows that her feeling got to the point where she just broke. This also shows that she really didn’t want to play the piano or become a prodigy. In addition, she also told her mother that she wishes she was dead like the other babies in China that the mother had lost. This shows that Jing-mei felt her life was unfair and not hers, but she wanted her life to be her owns. This also shows that the daughter has not learned to think before she speaks and she also doesn’t know the strength of her words yet. Jing-mei’s actions were unfair and completely mean, she shouldn’t have said the things she did. The words truly hurt the mother deeply, so the mother just gave up on and was heartbroken.

"Two Kinds" Jing-Mei's Shoes Paragraph

If any of my parents tried to make me become a prodigy, I would be mad. I would not try to be a prodigy in anything. I would hide from them, I would act like I’m really bad it, and do a bunch of stuff to not do it. I would sit and not move, I would not say a word, and I would make sure to be dirty whenever I was needed to be clean. I would make sure that my parents knew that I wouldn’t do anything so that they would just give up. If the pressure got to much to become a prodigy I think it would ruin my life, because I would get into the habit of not doing anything. I wouldn’t be able to get a job, or do anything that would require me to work because of that habit.

I was currently living in girls one at San Pasqual Academy. It was a day after a huge fist fight with another girl.

"Everyday Use" Before You Read: Tradition

Fifteen years from now on the fourth of July, I will sit be sitting on the roof of my house with my kids watching the fireworks. One of my happy memories of this tradition is when I was young and my dad let me climb onto the roof of my uncles house to see the fireworks better. He also came up to sit with me so I didn’t fall. I will share this with children because I think that they should feel what it felt like to be up on a roof watching bright lights flash in the sky. This is a tradition that I want to pass on because it bonded me to my father even more, and it was really interesting to watch the fireworks on the roof of a house.
