plot conflict:
The external conflict of the story is that the narrators mother wants her daughter to become a prodigy but her daughter always denies her mother's efforts or fails to succeed
Plot Beginning:
In the beginning of the story we find out that Mrs.Woo lost everything in China and came to America for a new start. She wanted her daughter to be a child prodigy. At first she tried to mold her child into a Chinese Shirley Temple, then she did intellectual tests, both of those things did not work out until Mrs.Woo thought of her daughter as a piano player.
Plot Middle:
- Mrs.Woo tried to turn her daughter into a Chinese Shirley Temple.
-Mrs.Woo tried intellectual tests on her daughter but her daughter got bored.
- Mr.Chong teaches Jing-mei piano but she doesn't' actually try to learn.
-Jing-mei plays horribly in the church show
-Mrs.Woo and her daughter get in a huge argument about her daughter playing the piano.
13- I would like to ask Jing-mei how she feels knowing that she could've actually fulfilled her mom's dreams but instead she stayed stubborn until her mom passed away. Does she regret it?
-
15-I would like to remember that being stubborn won't allows work out the way you want it too. Another thing, is that I shouldn't push people too far because they might lose themselves.
16- In my opinion the most important parts are the times Jing-mei and her mom fought because it showed how the American dream was separating them.
17- The main idea is that the parental expectation creates a diversion between the mother and her daughter.
