Answer:

Jing Mei's is initially an agreeable and child who grows to become rebellious towards her mother.

The conflict of story is that Jing Mei's mother wants her to be 'Chinese Shirley Temple'. Her mtoher thinks that Jing Mei is genius andwants her to be obedient to her expectations.. However Jing Mei is different from her mother's expectations.

It is an external conflict because Jing Mei is struggling with her mother's expectations

Jing Mei's mother migrated from China so she wants her daughter to have same roots. This motivates her to treat her daughter to become 'Chinese Shirley Temple'

Jing Mei's mother grew up in China and then migrated to America. She has all her childhood memories from that culture. Therefore her expectations or treatment re influenced by her background and up-bringing.

Retrospective point of view is critical ot the story for it helps the narrator to explain the events that have happened in her life and has led her to becoem what she is.

The end of story where she takes inherits her mtoher's piano after her mtoher's death. The ending tells that despite of not wanting to learn piano and being a rebellious child, Jing Mei makes an effort to learn and understand her mother's desire for her to learn piano.

Jing Mei comes to realize that the two poems, Pleading Child and Perfectly Contented, she has been tihnking to be separate were actually two parts of the same poem.

The title 'Two Kinds' refers to the two kinds of daughters, Jing Mei's mother think are. One who obey their mothers and the others who follow their minds.

It can be applied in multiple ways. One is as explained above. The other way that th title can be applied is to understand the change is jing Mei as she grows. THe third way it can be implied is to understand the theme behind two poems who are actually two parts of a single poem

Explanation:

Two Kinds is a short story from the book 'The Joy Luck Club' written by Amy Tan. The story goes about to narate the story of Jing Mei in her own words.
