Serjik [45]

Answer and Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by author Amy Tan in which the relationship between an American daughter and her Chinese mother is explored. The main character and narrator is the daughter, Jing-mei. Her mother wants her to be a child prodigy, no matter in what field. She pushes Jing-mei to try different things: acting, dancing, singing, mathematics. They finally settle with playing the piano. However, Jing-mei loses interest and decides to be only average. Her piano teacher, Old Chong, is a deaf man who does not pay close attention to see if Jing-mei is actually learning.

How does Old Chong react to Jing-mei's performance at the talent show?

<em>The room was quiet, except for Old Chong,  who was beaming and shouting "Bravo! Bravo! Well done!</em>

Because Old Chong is deaf, he is the only one applauding Jing-mei at the talent show. She performs dreadfully, making it clear that she is not a prodigy. As a matter of fact, it is now clear to everyone, especially her mother, that she is not even trying to learn.

What are the two kinds of daughters?

After the disastrous recital, Jing-mei and her mother begin to argue. According to her mother, there are two types of daughters:

<em>"Only two kinds of daughters," she shouted in Chinese. "Those who are obedient and those who follow  their own mind! Only one kind of daughter can live in this house. Obedient daughter!"</em>

<em />

What does Suyuan give Jing-mei?

When Jing-mei turns thirty, her mother gives her the old piano. Jing-mei sees this a sign of forgiveness. She has remained average throughout her life, as if to prove a point. She did not wish to live up to her mother's expectations.

When formulating a research question, a researcher should write a question
Archy [21]
I would say the correct answer is that has an undetermined answer.
If a subject has been thoroughly covered, then there is no need for this researcher to do it all over again. If it's impossible to answer, there is no need to try. If it can be answered easily, then it doesn't really require a research. This leaves us with the last option, because a researcher might want to try and determine the answer.
