Answer:
Jing-mei discovered that she and her mother are so different and that she will not let her mother's expectations be what she becomes. Rather, she will be her own self and do the things she wanted to do.
This scene helped develop the theme of discovering and accepting one's true identity and accepting things even though they may not be what others expect and want to see.
Explanation:
Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds," tells the story of Jing-mei and her mothers’ high hopes for her. But despite all the expectations, Jing-mei also struggled with accepting her own identity as a Chinese girl living in America.
Paragraph 15 of the story reveals the scene where Jing-mei 'discovered' her true self, looking in the mirror. She declares<em> "I had new thoughts, willful thoughts - or rather, thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not." </em>This scene is the transition from her rejecting her mother's expectations of her and her decision to be true to herself and do what she wants. She also discovered that she truly hated what her mother wants for her and that they are two poles apart.
This scene helped develop the theme of discovering one's identity amidst what her family expects from her and the need to 'adhere' to certain expected rules.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter.
What idea do the words little and serene suggest in this text?
The idea that humans crave challenges and activity
The idea that human size was insignificant to that of Martians
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
The idea that humans were obsessed with small things
Answer:
The idea that humans were insignificant and oblivious
Explanation:
The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.
Im not sure I understand this question,but I will try to make out what you are trying to say,you can have alot of drama in your life with others,but without others then there is not very much drama,maybe you can have drama just by your self,for example you find a thing of ants and feel like your about to pass out(happened to me this morning) thats drama without other people.
