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.

Katyanochek1 [597]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The focus on theme and thesis is more prominently emphasized than it was in her original letter.  (C)</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The short story is regarded as the best narrative because it is well structured with a well explained thesis that lays more emphasis on the main points of the story. The reader is able to understand the characters and theme portrayed together with the evidence and thesis. It also creates empathy to give the reader a view of the difficulties that come with war for both soldiers and people in support of the affected families by understanding their struggle.

Introduction for global warming
kozerog [31]

<u>Global Warming</u>

Global warming is the long-term rise of temperatures in Earth's climate. Global warming is caused mostly by increasing pollution. The pollution, whether from  nonrenewable energy sources, farming, or deforestation is sending carbon and other greenhouse gases into the environment. The gases are part of the greenhouse effect, which traps the warmth from the sun in the earth. Global warming will cause melting of glaciers and ice sheets which will rise ocean water levels, flooding many coastal areas and cities. That is only one problem of global warming. Global warming is on the rise and the effects are very dangerous.
