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 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.

Airida [17]

Answer: VERBAL IRONY

Explanation: Verbal irony is a contrast between what is said or written and what is really meant. When one's speeches or writings are different, contrary or are in contrast to what he or she truely meant, that is verbal irony; for example calling an ugly man handsome.

The word on the wrought iron gate which reads ARBEIT MACHT FREI, translates to WORK SETS YOU FREE. This is a verbal irony because what is written is contrary to what happens behind the gate.

Non of them were ever freed due to their hard work but they were rather gassed to death when they are sick and unable to work.
