For example, this is shown when the author writes, "She brings home too many trophy.' Auntie Lindo lamented that Sunday. 'All day she play chess. All day I have no time do nothing but dust off her winnings." (5) She describes dusting trophies simply as another thing to clean in the house. Her Aunt has her mother's dream child and is ungrateful and doesn't appreciate her daughter's outstanding work and accomplishments. She wants what she doesn't have.]]> 2018-11-27 14:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308300589 desireejimenez2003 https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308301546 Jing-Mei's mother wants her to be like the advanced and skilled kids she reads about in American books, shows, and news. For example, this is discussed when the author writes, " She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children that she read in 'Ripley's Believe it or Not' or 'Good Housekeeping', 'Reader's Digest', or any of a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom." (2) This talks about her mother's influences. These ideas are being put in her head and she is passing it on by putting pressure on her daughter to match them and meet these expectations.]]> 2018-11-27 14:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308301546 desireejimenez2003 https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308865594 Jing-Mei's desires are different from her mother's because she is not worried about being a perfect prodigy child. All the stress and expectations her mom puts on her  about the activities creates a bad undesirable vibe. For example, this is shown when Jing-Mei says, "But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient." (2) In this quote she describes herself as being impatient. She is not meeting her mother's expectations as quickly. This can lead to her losing hope and giving up.]]> 2018-11-28 16:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308865594 desireejimenez2003 https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308881159 Jing-Mei's mother has such high expectations for her because she came to America with hopes of better things for her future as well as her daughter's future. For example, this is discussed when they say, "America was where all my mother's hopes lay...At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple." (1) When it says "all my mother's hopes" it really shows how much your dreams rely on America and the things there. She wants to match and do all these amazing things even if they're unrealistic for a single person who is not extremely motivated. She is forcing her personal dreams and inspired ideas onto her daughter.]]> 2018-11-28 16:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/308881159 desireejimenez2003 https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/309109690 One example of an external conflict is in paragraph 6-7 where it says, "My mother dragged me off to the bathroom and tried to wet down my hair. 'You look like a Negro Chinese," she lamented, as if I had done this on purpose."(1) Her mother is so obsessed with this idea that she tries to change her daughter's looks into someone she's not. An example of an internal conflict is is paragraph 16 when it says, "I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not." (2) Here she is struggling to stay true to herself, so she makes a promise in hopes of trying to prevent change.]]> 2018-11-29 01:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/309109690 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310237053 There are at least three other meanings in the story. ]]> 2018-12-02 23:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310237053 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310237286 2018-12-02 23:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310237286 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310238855 2018-12-02 23:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310238855 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239050 2018-12-02 23:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239050 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239102 2018-12-02 23:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239102 mishka_douglas https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239239 2018-12-02 23:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/desireejimenez2003/k97cccfk443n/wish/310239239
