Question

Part A

Answer 1

A central idea of the relationship between Ji-Suk and her mother in the story is:

C. Ji-Suk's mother shows her love for her daughter through her high expectations for her.

The detail from the story that best supports the answer in Part A is:

"Even though she'd made Ji-Suk take Korean lessons every Saturday morning followed by violin lessons in the afternoon - and cooked kimchi and other Korean delicacies with her at least once a week - Ji-Suk's mother had wanted her to succeed by American standards."

• In the short story "Bul-Go!-gi", Ji-Suk is caught between the cultural differences of America, the country where she lives, and Korea, where her mother is from.
• Ji-Suk's mother loves her, but she has a very rigid way of showing it. She wants her daughter to learn Korean and to succeed at what Korean people consider respectable activities.
• Ji-Suk does not resent her mother for having been so demanding. She respects her mother's culture and principles. However, she also respects her own principles, wishes, and culture.
• Ji-Suk shows her love for her son by doing the opposite of what her mother did. She does force him to do anything, but lets him choose for himself.
