"Two Kinds" Mother & Daughter Conflict


In the conflict between Jing-Mei and her mother, Jing-Mei is a little girl who came from china. Her mother wanted her to be a Prodigy but Jing-Mei didn't want to. In this story I support Jing-Mei because no one should ever have to be obligated to do something they don't want to do or something they dislike. For example when Jing-Mei's mother made her watch and learn the things people did on t.v. It wouldn't make Jing-Mei happy. In addition at the end of the story when Jing-Mei finished her piano performance in the talent show the next day her mother still wanted her to go to piano lessons after having the most embarrassing moment ever the night before. In the story Jing-Mei tryed to be what her mother wanted her to be but she couldn't handle it no more. This shows that Jing-Mei is a strong character and cared to make her mother happy but this also shows that Jing-Mei would not live a life of a lie and would not tolerate having her mother tell her what to be. Jing-Mei's actions are of a young girl who wants to make her momhappy but not to be what her mom wants her to be but what jing-Mei herself wants to be when she grows up.
