"Two Kinds" Summary Priming Activity by Christina Strey https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81 en-us 2022-02-09 14:39:21 UTC 2022-02-24 04:35:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Dom T talamdom000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038374131 In the story two kinds I believe that the story will be about a prodigy child. The word Chinese and daughter makes me think that the daughter will be really good at something as a Chinese child. The word piano also helps devolve that she is really good at piano at a young age. As a prodigy she is pleading and sobbing to stop playing piano because she does not enjoy it as her parents don’t understand she does not like piano. The word genius also supports that she is really smart but is pushed too much to be good at piano.]]> 2022-02-09 16:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038374131 Dylan Lee leedyl000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038374321 I’m guessing the stories are about a young girl who started piano at a young age. I’m guessing she is a prodigy at piano.
She’s a genius and obeys her mother as a daughter.
The words pleading and sobbing make me believe she does not like piano. The word China and America makes me believe she moved from China to America to pursue her piano career as a daughter of her mother.

She is a genius and her mother encourages her a lot she is very obedient. She is also a prodigy piano player. She contends in a competition and she loses. She and her mother sob and plead for the judges to change their mind.]]> 2022-02-09 16:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038386041 Jacob Fischer fischjac004 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038389379 I believe the story will be based around Amy tans life. It will center around the relationship of a  Chinese mom and daughter who moved to the U.S. The conflict will be between the mom and daughter and then between the daughter and something else. The conflict will probably be about the daughter in school being a prodigy at piano and a genius at school from the pressure of her mother. She will be obedient to her mother out of fear but will eventually break down and finally let out all her frustrations.]]> 2022-02-09 16:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038389379 Joey M millejos0041 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038393327 In the story I think that it’s going to be about this girls relationship with her mother. It’s probably going to talk about how her mother loved her but she was slightly crazy. It’s probably also going to be about her life and what her mother thought of her.  She probably is a genius or prodigy that plays the piano. Her family also probably also from china and moved to America.]]> 2022-02-09 16:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038393327 Jack Gerardi gerarjac000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038410452  I think the story will most likely be about Amy tan's daughter. And really just the relationship between the two of them and how it grew and the problems that they had. The conflict will be between the daughter and the mom but it’s undecided yet about what specifically it will be about. Also I’m guessing that the rest of her family from china will move to America. The mom respects her daughter a lot and I think they will have a very interesting story. I also think they will have to resolve the conflict later on. Since she is good at playing the piano that will also tie into the story and more about the girls skills.]]> 2022-02-09 17:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038410452 Josh Mathieson mathijos001 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038420745 The next story will be based on Amy Tan's daughters life. This story will relate to a Chinese mom and daughter who moved to the U.S. This will be about a young girl who is really good at playing the piano, the word prodigy from the vocab could relate to how good she is at piano. This girl is a young genius and the word genius also comes from the vocab. The mom Amy respects her daughter a lot and they have a very good relationship and when the girl plays the piano it must make Amy so proud and she could be sobbing in the events, also from the vocab. The conflict will be between the daughter and the mom but I don’t know what it will be about yet. Overall this story will relate to a girl being really good a piano. ]]> 2022-02-09 17:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038420745 Lucia R Naomi H https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038422766 We believe that the story is going to be autobiographical and that it's going to describe Amy’s relationship with her mother. Furthermore, we think it is going to describe her experience of being an immigrator from China to the United States and the process that this change involved. Maybe she is going to mention some details about the Chinese culture and her feeling involved on the shock of suddenly moving to the other side of the world! In addition, we guess that the are going to mention something about her being a prodigy and her ability for playing the piano. ]]> 2022-02-09 17:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038422766 Henry majerus https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038424710 I believe the story will be about Amy tans life and her  
complex relationships between her and her family. I believe they will have struggles because of where they were born and how they grew up. I think it will be about resolving there conflicts and learning to live together. I think they will start of hating each other but end up making up and being good to each other. The mom will want her daughter to move back to China but the daughter will want to stay in America

She is really smart and she is very obedient. She is good at playing the piano. I think there is going to be a conflict between the mom and the daughter and the mom.]]> 2022-02-09 17:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038424869 Rachel Hasko haskorac000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038439984 I think the story is about a mom and her daughter. I think it takes place after they moved from America to China. The daughter is a prodigy when it comes to playing the piano. The mom may put a lot of pressure on her, but the daughter thinks that the mom is a genius and therefore wants to be obedient to her. Maybe the daughter ends up competing in a piano competition, and learns how to balance the pressure with doing something she loves.]]> 2022-02-09 17:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038439984 Vivan Savant https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038445364 In this story, I feel like it’s going to be about a girl who moved to the US with her Chinese mom and family. The girl happens to be obedient, a genius, and a piano prodigy.
In conclusion, the story is about a Chinese girl adjusting to a life in the US.]]> 2022-02-09 17:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038445364 Swati https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038447058 I think this story is going to be based on Amy Tan’s life about a mom and daughter who moved to America from China. The daughter also might play the piano and is a prodigy at it which makes her mom really proud and makes her a really obedient child in her moms eyes. But the daughter might want to quit the piano which might lead to the daughter pleading the mom to let her quit. This might end in an argument and tears and sobbing, but at the end they might compromise something which meets both ends.]]> 2022-02-09 17:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038447058 Mia duffy https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038453713 I think that this story will be about how Amy has a complicated relationship with her mother and that she is trying to live up to her mothers high expectations. I think she is a smart girl who plays piano and wants to make her mother proud even though she might not like piano or anything. I think that story will consist of obstacles Amy will face to continue to make her mother proud and I just think she is close to her mother and doesn’t want to ruine there relationship. I think that amy and her mother are best friends yet Amy can be a bit scared of her mom through having to be a “perfect” daughter.]]> 2022-02-09 17:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038453713 Nawra Shaik shaiknaw000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038470801 I think this story will be about a woman who came from China to America and who’s daughter was born in America. I think her daughter will be a genius piano prodigy and she’ll want her daughter to keep playing. I think at first the daughter will be obedient, but then she’ll probably want to quit. The story will be based around the conflict between the mother and the daughter.]]> 2022-02-09 17:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2038470801 Tate Roeder roedechr000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039016383 I think the story “Two Kinds” will be about a daughter from china and her having a tough relationship trying to live up to her mom’s expectations. I think she plays piano even though she might not be a prodigy. Her mom might make her do it and she’s obedient so she will even if she doesn’t want to. She might also forced to try and be a genius. I think this story will be about her overcoming her moms expectations and doing something she loves.]]> 2022-02-09 22:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039016383 Tomas Andrade andratom000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039124484 Because of the article, “Amy Tan: Her Mother’s Daughter” by CBS, I believe that the short story “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan will have a large emphasis on being connected to family. I also think it might be an Immigration story from China to America. Also, because of some of the words given I believe that the daughter will be a genius piano prodigy, and she will have to deal with those cons that come with it. Maybe the prodigy isn’t in the family, and its just someone who plays a part. I also think it might be about the prodigy daughter going through obstacles to make her mother proud. ]]> 2022-02-10 00:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039124484 Zayaan Thadathil thadazay000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039433636 In the “Two Kinds” short story by Amy Tan, there might be a mother and daughter who moves from China to America. The mother will make the daughter play the piano and overstress her to become a piano prodigy. The daughter will become obedient and start wanting to quit playing the piano and do something she desires. Unfortunately, the mother will be in the way of her daughter becoming whatever she wants. The mother’s enforcement to play the piano will add conflict between the relationship of the mother and daughter. ]]> 2022-02-10 04:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2039433636 Cameron Bring https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2040451138 I think that the short story “Two Kinds,” will be mostly about being connected to family. I also think that this story will be an immigration story and focused on a daughter who moves from China to America. From what I’ve read so far, I think her daughter will be a genius piano prodigy because her mom wants her to be one and over stresses  it. Even though the daughter doesn’t want to do it, I think that the mother will be a large obstacle and get in the way of her doing what she wants to do and desires. I believe that the mother enforcing and stressing her daughter to play the piano will add conflict between them and their relationship with each other. Lastly, I think that this story will end in her overcoming her mother’s expectations for her and she ends up doing something she loves/desires.]]> 2022-02-10 15:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2040451138 Anira Mohamud mohamani000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2061490352 In the article  ‘Amy Tan:Her Mother’s Daughter’ A mother and daughter move from China to America setting their cultural differences for a change and new opportunities.The story focuses on a mother trying to make her daughter an overall genius. But never actually considers that her daughter isn't a genius and maybe trying to make her something she isn't by comparing her isn't good for her. The daughter shows she doesn't wanna be taught these things or do these things at all but is simply forced. The moral of the story is stop trying to make someone something they aren't and never will be.]]> 2022-02-22 22:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2061490352 Zainab Abbas abbaszai000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2061529503 In the “Two Kinds” short story by Amy Tan, there’s a daughter and mother from China that immigrated to America. The mother probably isn’t content with her child just being herself, and she wants an obedient daughter to be a genius and perfect. It seems that she wants her daughter to be a piano prodigy of some sort, and she makes her kid practice over and over again. The daughter over time start resenting and hating the piano and wants to stop acting like this because she’s sick of it, but the mother doesn’t care and tells her to keep going. This hurts their relationship and the daughter often pleads for her mother to stop forcing her to do piano, but the mother won’t listen to her.]]> 2022-02-22 23:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2061529503 Shoaib Shaik shaiksho000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2062854736 I assume that ‘Two Kinds’ by Amy Tan will be about a mother and daughter who come from China and the mom wants the daughter to be a prodigy. I believe that the daughter will start to want to become a prodigy but it will slowly diminish. The mother will then make her play the piano. The daughter will like the piano at first but then will realize she doesn’t like it at all. She will then be angered at her mother and will tell herself she isn’t a prodigy. ]]> 2022-02-23 15:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2062854736 Aswath sunilasw000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063000880 I think the story “Two Kinds” will be about a daughter from China and he having a tough time following her moms hard expectations. When she moves to America she wants to be a prodigy at something but she finds it difficult to be good at something. ]]> 2022-02-23 17:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063000880 Kaiden prickkai000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063012472 I think the story Two Kinds is about a girl from China that moved to America having troubles with being good enough for her mom. Her mom wants her to be great at many different things ranging from acting to music. ]]> 2022-02-23 17:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063012472 Sufia M mirasuf000 https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063887306 The short story “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan is about a family of immigrants from China who don’t have the best relationship. The mother always forces the child to become famous and appear perfect, however, the daughter wasn’t able to achieve that goal. They would fight  everyday and spend a lot of time yelling while nothing ever changed. The mother kept looking for more opportunities every once in a while and the daughter would fail every time. Eventually, the girl decided to stop all of that and dropped out of college and her mother also gave up. In the end, the girl realized that she actually enjoyed some of the things that she was forced to do at that time, however, it was too late.]]> 2022-02-24 04:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_streywells/ctsodfjw5i3lka81/wish/2063887306
