Discussion of Amy Tan's Two Kinds
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Amy Tan's story "Two Kinds" reflects the aspirations of a Chinese-American mother for her daughter, as well as aspects of the Chinese-American culture. Tan's mother had lost everything before coming to America-her parents, her home, her husband, and her baby girls, and her daughter Amy was now her only child. Tan describes the relationship she had with her mother and how her mother tried to help her get her piece of the American dream, an effort that failed. Through her account of her life with her mother, however, Tan brought out three major ideas-the reason behind the mother's treatment of her daughter, the aspects of Chinese-American culture woven into the story, and the question of whether the mother was successful in teaching her daughter.
