"Two Kinds", written by author Amy Tan, is a short story from the book "The Joy Luck Club" that was published in 1989. The story is about the childhood of the main character Jing-mei Woo and the too-high expectations that Jing-mei´s mother has of her daughter.
In this particular passage from "Two Kinds", Jing-mei´s mother and Jing-mei are fighting over the expectations and disappointments that both mother and daughter have of and from each other. It is important to understand that Jing-mei´s mother, having come from Communist China, and having left behind her former family, has not changed her cultural views and expectations. These she tries to impose on her American-born and culturalized daughter, Jing-mei. In essence, the passage shows the conflict that Jing-mei has with her mother regarding these cultural expectations but also the impact on the main character when her true thoughts and temperament arise in the face of this impasse. Jing-mei never expected to have such anger and conflict with the views of her mother and she definitely did not expect to lash back in such a manner. The correct answers then are: A. Jing-mei did not expect such a response towards her mother and thus has an internal conflict and B. An external conflict as well between mother and daughter over the desire by the daughter to gain her independence.

Songwriting, and music in general, have had a huge effect on the lives of countless young Americans.
In the past, songs became stories that provided young people with a creative outlet and a voice for change.
But as technology has progressed, the creativity of the songwriting process has been lost, and the importance of music has disappeared.
It seems that since many are occupied with activities like playing on the Internet or watching videos, writing decent songs has become a scarce practice.
