In paragraph 15, what does Jing-mei discover about herself? How does this help develop the theme of the selection?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Jing-mei discovered that she and her mother are so different and that she will not let her mother's expectations be what she becomes. Rather, she will be her own self and do the things she wanted to do.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering and accepting one's true identity and accepting things even though they may not be what others expect and want to see.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds," tells the story of Jing-mei and her mothers’ high hopes for her. But despite all the expectations, Jing-mei also struggled with accepting her own identity as a Chinese girl living in America.

Paragraph 15 of the story reveals the scene where Jing-mei 'discovered' her true self, looking in the mirror. She declares<em> "I had new thoughts, willful thoughts - or rather, thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not." </em>This scene is the transition from her rejecting her mother's expectations of her and her decision to be true to herself and do what she wants. She also discovered that she truly hated what her mother wants for her and that they are two poles apart.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering one's identity amidst what her family expects from her and the need to 'adhere' to certain expected rules.

Answer:

<h2>"Bermuda Triangle"</h2>

Bermuda triangle or Devil's triangle is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Some time it is also refers as Hurricane triangle as well. Bermuda triangle has a specific real phenomena which we discuss latter in the speech.  Many theories or article also purposed on the triangle, that it is fictional thing and it is not real. But it is not true... and I (the person who is giving the speech) will prove this point with some logical facts that I gathered on this topic. But firstly, have look on some general facts and figures on Bermuda triangle.

In the north Atlantic Ocean there is a region i.e. Bermuda Triangle, in which number of ships and aircraft vanished due to some mysterious phenomena. But this point of view of calling it is a mystery, rejected by reputable and more authentic sources and prove that there are many real facts underlying in this phenomena which clarify that it is real.

<h2>Valid reasons behind Bermuda triangle: </h2>
  • Compass changes: Compass issues have the main importance in Bermuda triangle phenomena. Many theories purposed that this region has many magnetic abnormalities.The world is unaware of the fact that something is really abnormal about the compass variation in such a large area formed in shape of triangle called Bermuda triangle.
  • Gulf Stream: is a large surface current flows in the Gulf of Mexico towards Florida entering onto North Atlantic. Fact is, it is a river inside an ocean with rough waves that carries away various object along them. It was reported that many aircraft which try water landing or ships with technical problems, carried away by those currents from their actual positions.
  • Harsh weather: Bermuda triangle contains harsh weather conditions, resulting in hurricanes, which were also responsible for the sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's a Spanish navy ship. Which was the first ever reported case of Bermuda triangle in 1502. Due to these hurricanes many incident took place in the past.
  • Methane hydrates: Many facts given, like the existence of methane fields in the region on a large scale. Methane is a form of natural gas. Mud volcanoes made by methane surrounded by dense bubbly water are the main causes for the sinking of ships in that region. when the ships comes across that kind of specific region they sink very quickly.
  • Human mistake: Many disasters reported in the past only because of human rigidness, by floating their ships intentionally in to harsh weathers i.e. hurricanes.
