story Two Kinds, written by Amy Tan, has many symbolisms that a
person can easily miss on the first or second time of reading it
through. For example, the first time I read the last part "I
realized that both songs where part of one song", at first I
thought that it just meant the music. But after I read it over to
myself 2 more times, I saw that it also had a relation between her
and her mother. How does the quote "I also learned I could be lazy
and get away with mistakes, lots of mistakes" relate to its theme?
I thought of several reasons.
One of many themes that I saw in the text was that looks can be
deceiving (or different from reality). Jing-mei fools her piano
teacher into thinking that she is playing things right. She
probably started of by playing somewhat defiantly, and gradually
took advantage of her piano teacher's deafness. In the process of
deceiving the piano teacher, she also deceives her mother.
Jing-mei's mom works hard to give Jing-mei an education. This
relates to the quote because Jing-mei does literally get away with
mistakes, but it might also mean that she started slacking in her
academics. Laziness most of the time only starts getting bigger.
It's hard to break a habit that you're used to.
Many themes can be found throughout this story. Another one that
I found was you can be your own enemy. If she had stopped herself
from trying to be lazy and tried to do the work, she could have
been one of the leading pianist, and maybe even a prodigy. It was
perfectly fine that she didn't want to be someone she didn't want
to be, but the way she showed that was what happened wrong.
Jing-mei's mom only did what any other mother would do, by trying
to give the best for her. Apparently Jing-mei was under a lot of
stress especially for one without much age. Her irresponsibility is
shown up when she does the talent show and completely blows it. It
is shown that her parents had done a bit of bragging about her
daughter's music skills, which only adds to &their
humiliation. Even after that, her mom does not give up hope, she
keeps trying.
Jing-mei does make mistakes, a lot of mistakes.
Two Kinds is a short story about a mother who pushes her
daughter to become a prodigy. Amy Tan uses two types of tone. At
the beginning it displays an angry tone, but at the end the tone is
apologetic. The purpose of this story is to make the reader realize
how much parents want their children to succeed, and how parents
feel that their children are a reflection of themselves. The
purpose is also how it affected me, it made me realize how much my
parents want me to succeed, and that is why they push me.
This story represents how much parents really care about their
children`s outcome in life. Even though children don`t realize it
at the time, parents are only trying to do what they feel is best
for them. We should respect their effort to try and raise us as
best they can. I think that was a big message the author wanted you
to get after reading this story.
