The title "Two Kinds" refers to the statement by the mother that there are only two kinds of daughters: "Those who are obedient

As this is a personal task, we cannot provide an essay for you. However, we can provide an initial analysis of the story that can help as guidance for your work.

In the story "Two Kinds," we witness the conflict that exists between Jing-mei and her mother. Jing-mei was born in the United States, but her mother came from China, and this creates a difficult cultural conflict between the two. While Jing-mei has dreams that could be characterized as more "American" (such as being a Chinese Shirley Temple), her mother wants her to follow her instructions and be more traditionally successful.

One meaning of the "two kinds" idea is that of the conflict between the kind of daughter Jing-mei is meant to be and the daughter that she actually is. However, another meaning becomes obvious towards the end of the story. As she finds the two halves of the song ("Pleading Child" and "Perfectly Contented"), Jing-mei realizes that she is also two different kinds of person, who are not necessarily in conflict, but can reconcile. The two parts of her are as much united and complementary as the two parts of the song.

exis [7]

Odors have the power by itself to make us happy or sad, to bring it back memories of certain times of our lifes and even memories that we cannot remember, from our subconscious.

I need a speech for student council, im running for president. Help?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

I have ran and failed before. I learned my mistakes the next year and became VP. You really need to show what you can do to change what is bad. Students want to elect someone they like and know is competent. Be a leader in the classroom. Participate in class discussions and get good grades, it’s how you’ll prove your competence. Don’t be the class clown or the student who’s always on their cell phone or asleep. Make posters. The posters can be super simple; even just a print out of the slogan on normal computer paper will work. However, you should have a lot of them. The exact number will vary proportionally to the number of students in your class (or school, if you’re running for the overall Student Government President). What I mean by that is if your class has 100 students, 10 posters may be enough, but if you have 1000 students in your class, you may want to put up 50 or more posters. Count on some posters being ripped down or disappearing. Most schools have rules against this, but it’s hard to catch someone ripping down a poster. Plan on making extras. Some of these tips helped me in becoming VP so I hope this will help you.
