Answer and Explanation:

1. Because she is a woman far ahead of her time, presenting women in positions that were not stimulated in society and that could shock listeners. Her story is about female freedom, wisdom and even sexual freedom and that was not something advocated in women at the time.

2. The king's punishment is for the knight to be executed for having abused a maiden against her will.

3. The queen begs the king for mercy. The irony in this is that no one imagined that the queen would impose a task so that the knight would not be executed, as readers might think that she would intercede for the knight only because she was kind and not a strategist as she proved to be.

4. Bath's wife claims that having the power to dominate is what binds women to men, because by dominating their husbands, women are able to satisfy their desires and enjoy everything that gives them pleasure. What the old woman values most is the loyalty between the couple

Which excerpts from Two Kinds are examples of internal conflict?
rewona [7]

The excerpts from "Two Kinds" which are examples of internal conflict are:

"before going to bed that night, i looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when i saw only my face staring back—and that it would always be this ordinary face—i began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror."

"so maybe i never really gave myself a fair chance. I did pick up the basics pretty quickly, and i might have become a good pianist at that young age. But i was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that i learned to play”

The story “Two Kinds” reflects on the relation of a mother and her daughter who had been brought up in different cultures. Suyuan, Jing-mei's mother wanted her to become child prodigy of America. Suyuan tests her daughter in different activities restlessly. She gives Jing-mei piano lessons too. Jing-mei too tries hard but fails. She becomes upset as she will be the reason for her mother's disappointment. Later, Jing-mei wants everyone and her mother to accept her as she. Her mother was not ready to accept her as she is in reality. There arises many cases in which the characters undergoes conflict with other characters and with themselves as well.
