Question

which you explain how the author’s use of indirect characterization develops the conflict between the narrator and her mother in "Two Kinds."

Answer 1

Answer:

Jing Mei chooses not what her mother wants of her but only what she wants for herself. She states, "For, unlike my mother, I did not believe I could be anything I wanted to be. I could be only me" (Tan 1). Thus this "battle of wills" between mother and daughter sets the conflict of the story.26-Jun-2020
