Sympathy is a more general feeling or sorrow for another person’s situation.

Empathy is more specific and personal than sympathy. It involves personally putting yourself in that persons shoes and knowing what they are going through.

In at least 150 words, describe two of the challenges that American society faced after World War II
Sergio [31]

Although the Uinited States was in a better economic position than any other countries after World War II, after a short period new challenges developed.

The most important and known was the menace fo communism that the URSS represented. By 1948, the Cold War had emerged leading to many tensions and conflicts in the years to come. An example of this was the Cuban missile crisis which put the world at the edge of war.

Another challenge was characterized by women. While male soldiers were on the battle front, women took their places in factories, giving them some empowerment. After the war ended, they were forced to return to their homes and accept the role of perfect housewives and mothers. Soldiers wanted to marry young and have children, causing the baby boom. This led to some tensions and the growth of the feminist movement.

Based on the narration and dialogue, which statement describes the narrator's mother best? She is still bitter that her daughter
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The best answer is c. She's confident that her daughter's attitude is the only reason she's not a genius.

Explanation:

Suyuan is the narrator's mother in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". She is a Chinese woman who decides to make a child prodigy out of her daughter Jing-mei, sort of a Chinese Shirley Temple. She quizzes her on several subjects, changes her hair to make it curly and then short, and finally makes her take piano lessons. At first, Jing-mei is excited about the idea of being a prodigy. She likes to picture all the attention she'll receive, and believes problems won't exist if she is famous. She is not, however, willing to work hard to accomplish things. She chooses to be lazy and, since her mother is constantly nagging her, she chooses to fail. She even says she had the right to be a disappointment. She succeeds in letting her mother down at her piano recital, where she plays terribly. Suyuan is not fooled by her daughter's performance. She knows Jing-mei could have done better if she had been willing to apply herself. Years later, when Jing-mei is already grown up, Suyuan gives her the piano as a present and remarks precisely that:

"Well, I probably can't play anymore," I said. "It's been years." "You pick up fast," my mother said, as if  she knew this was certain. “You have natural talent. You could be a genius if you want to." "No, I  couldn't." "You just not trying," my mother said. And she was neither angry nor sad. She said it as if  announcing a fact that could never be disproved. "Take it," she said.
