Answer:

The author appeals to the senses of smell and touch in "Two Kinds".

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by author Amy Tan. The narrator is Jing-mei, who tells us the story of how her Chinese mother once decided she should be a child prodigy. After testing Jing-mei on several subjects only to be disappointed, her mother finally decided her daughter should take piano lessons with Mr. Chong. The piano teacher lived with his mother, Old Lady Chong.

To describe Lady Chong, the author uses imagery, a literary device that consists of appealing to the five senses. Imagery helps readers visualize and feel what is being described, which helps the author to establish the mood and, consequently, get an emotional response from the reader. In "Two Kinds", the author appeals to smell and touch as she describes Old Lady Chong:

<em> She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants, and her fingers felt like a dead person's, like an old peach I once found in the back  of the refrigerator: its skin just slid off the flesh when I picked it up. </em>

Thanks to this description, the reader is able to picture Lady Chong's smell and the touch of her skin as he/she reads. It conveys the impression the narrator herself - a 9-year-old girl - had of lady Chong.

Read the passage below carefully and then choose the correct answer.
Dahasolnce [82]
It was a message to Julius Caesar warning him of his death. T<span>he Ides of March didn't signify anything special in itself - this was just the usual way of saying "March 15th". The notion of the Ides being a dangerous date was purely an invention of Shakespeare's; each month has an Ides (often the 15th) and this date wasn't significant in being associated with death prior to 1601.</span>
