People are not aware of the danger coming ahead when they trust people they do not know well. Death comes as a surprise to these characters who cannot escape their fate.They are condemned from the moment they fall in the hands of these monsters who present themselves as benefactors but they are not kind or gentle. Billy had no clue he could be killed by the landlaldy as she disguised her true intentions very well.In stories like this the victimizer does not reveal himself or herself until the very end which makes it impossible for their prey to foreshadow their fate.

Write a 150-word essay in which you explain how the author’s use of Indirect Characterization develops the conflict between the

Arada [10]

In the story "Two Kinds," the author Amy Tan tells us about a mother and a daughter who live in America, but are of Chinese origin. We learn that the daughter wants to be a "Chinese Shirley Temple" and become famous through her dancing and her singing. On the other hand, her mother wants the daughter (Jing-mei) to be a genius. She forces her to take piano lessons, which Jing-Mei hates.

The author develops this conflict through the use of indirect characterization. While she rarely describes the mother and daughter in detail, she describes many events that allow us to create a picture of their behaviour. For example, we learn that Jing-mei hates the piano lessons when she does not care about learning and she does terribly at the recital. We also learn about the mother's expectations of her daughter when she talks about the "two kinds" of daughters that exist. In this way, the author develops the conflict between the two characters while giving the story complexity.
