EXIT TICKET for "Two kinds" — Short Response

In "Two kinds," how do June's feelings about her mother change from

the beginning to the end of the story? How do the interactions

between June and her mother illustrate this change?

Use evidence from the text to support your response. Be sure to

explain how each piece of evidence supports your analysis.

Answer:

June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story because when she is young, she doesn't understand why her mother makes her "try" to discover her talent (she ends up taking piano lessons) and she denies to take her piano lessons seriously since she thinks that's not her life and her mother is forcing her to take them. At the end of the story, June explains that after her mother died she went back to her house and looked at the piano that was still there. When she starts playing, she realizes that the two different songs that she used to play when she was young were actually the same song (right hand and left hand). Her mother always told her that she wasn't "talented" at playing the piano just because she wasn't trying enough, she didn't put effort, she didn't pay attention. I believe at this moment June realizes her mother was right, although it's true that her mother was extremely severe.

Every time June and her mother interacted in the short story, it was a conversation where June's mother told her that she needed to be "talented" and June told her that she didn't want to. For example, in this case her mother is telling her that it's time for her piano lessons after the TV talented show where June didn't play so well:

"Four clock," she reminded me, as if it were any other day. I was stunned, as though she were asking me to  go through the talent-show torture again. I planted myself more squarely in front of the TV.

"Turn off TV," she called from the kitchen five minutes later. I didn't budge. And then I decided, I didn't  have to do what mother said anymore.

After that situation, June told her mother a very hurtful phrase about how she wished she was dead like the other kids her mother hadn't had. This phrase changed the relationship between them. Then, the years that followed are described and we can read about a conversation between them when June is thirty:

A few years ago she offered to give me the piano, for my thirtieth birthday. I had not  played in all those years. I saw the offer as a sign of forgiveness, a tremendous burden removed. "Are you  sure?" I asked shyly. "I mean, won't you and Dad miss it?" "No, this your piano," she said firmly. "Always  your piano. You only one can play."

"Well, I probably can't play anymore," I said. "It's been years." "You pick up fast," my mother said, as if  she knew this was certain. “You have natural talent. You could be a genius if you want to." "No, I couldn't." "You just not trying," my mother said. And she was neither angry nor sad. She said it as if  announcing a fact that could never be disproved. "Take it," she said.

Her mother's posture is still the same but their feelings have change. The next thing that happens is what has already been described, June finds herself playing the piano after her mother dies.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read the short story "Two kinds" written by Amy Tan and then answer the questions using examples from the story.

"Two kinds" is a short story about the relationship between June and her mother. June's mother comes from China and she thinks everyone can be talented and famous in the US and June doesn't feel the same as her mother because she has been born and rise in the US.

Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. Once they had mastered the three kinds of Egyptian writing, nineteenth-century scholars had the key to more than three thousand years of Egyptian history. Within a few decades, they compiled an accurate list of all the pharaohs who had ruled Egypt, from Narmer in 3000 B.C. to Cleopatra VII in 30 B.C. They discovered long-lost masterpieces of ancient Egyptian literature. And, by reading bills of sale, shop inventories, and personal letters, they reconstructed what daily life in ancient Egypt was like for everyone from a slave to a king. Which best represents a cause-and-effect relationship from the excerpt? O Nineteenth-century scholars went through documents covering more than three thousand years of Egyptian history. As a result, they learned about the three types of Egyptian writing. O Nineteenth-century scholars learned the three types of Egyptian writing.

JEANNETTE

KENNETH

DAD

MOM

(Setting: The Washington family’s kitchen)

JEANNETTE: I’ve perused this bevy of travel pamphlets and I have no inkling of where I want to go on vacation. I thought about attending a performance at the city’s amphitheater; however, the city will be in bedlam with the performance and the sporting event occurring simultaneously.

MOM: I didn’t find a worthwhile destination either.

KENNETH: I’ve concluded that we should embark on an exhilarating and exciting trip this year—something we’ve never done before.

MOM: I don’t want to dismiss your idea, Kenneth, but where can find such an awe-inspiring experience?

KENNETH: I thought we could hike up Mount Whitney—it’s the highest peak in California. Because it’s located on the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, it’s also relatively close to home. Since we’re all strong athletes, I think that making the ascent is feasible.

JEANNETTE: (to Kenneth) That sounds like an awesome and memorable trip; however, there’s one problem with your plan—I suffer from acrophobia.

KENNETH: (with a look of befuddlement) Acro- what?

MOM: Acrophobia—it means that Jeannette suffers from a fear of heights. The root word phobia, meaning “fear of,” comes from the Greek word –phobos, which means “fearing.” Acrophobia is one of the most prevalent phobias in the country.

KENNETH: (to Jeannette) I recall a few years ago when we traveled on an airplane to Aunt Janice’s house—you were enthralled, peering out the window at the scene below.

JEANNETTE: I did have a tremendous time on the airplane; however, after that trip, my phobia gradually progressed, and now merely thinking about flying evokes terror and makes me squeamish. For me, riding the elevator to the top floor of a tall building is much like trekking up Mount Everest—it’s a gigantic feat of willpower.

MOM: Sometimes the best way to get over a fear is to face it. Perhaps we should try to climb the mountain so that Jeannette can tackle her fear. Do you think it would intolerable for you, Jeannette?

JEANNETTE: (with a look of trepidation) I don’t believe I would be very excited during the ascent, and I may not reach the apex; yet, I would savor the astonishing panoramic views. But what if I lost my composure and chose not to climb with you? I would be loath to jeopardize your trip.

DAD: Jeannette, we’re a family; we must always support each other. I believe that if you’re brave enough to attempt the climb, we should be more than willing to stop if you feel overwhelmed or extremely uneasy.

MOM: Just trying is an immeasurable accomplishment!

KENNETH: I’ll have a wonderful vacation as long as I get to view the noteworthy peak; everything else is secondary to me. What’s your verdict, Jeannette?

JEANNETTE: The thought of scaling a gigantic mountain is both scary and exhilarating. I must admit, the allure of Mount Whitney seems to trump my trepidation, and it would be incredible to overcome my fear. So, I suppose there is only one thing left to do—pack!
