Jamal is writing a literary analysis essay responding to this quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald: "That is part of the beauty of all
literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong." Read the reason Jamal gives for his own viewpoint in the first body paragraph of his literary analysis essay.
Interactions between family members are an example of a universal theme that can connect to most readers.
Which sentence best serves as evidence for this reason?
a) The central idea in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds,” the conflict between parent and child, is expressed by the daughter's retort, "You want me to be something I'm not."
b) The main character in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds” has a mother who cleans houses for extra money, but Fitzgerald's characters are usually wealthy socialites.
c) Amy Tan writes fiction about Chinese Americans like herself, and many of her stories are inspired by her own childhood.
d) Fitzgerald's idea that the purpose of literature is to connect to readers is a common idea that is reflected in much of modern fiction and poetry, including the work of Amy Tan.
(its a)
