TWO KINDS"

  The daughter's "Americanized" personality affects the plot in many ways throughout the short story "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan. The plot of a story includes the events of the story and conveys the key themes, messages, and meaning of the narrative. It’s what gives a story its emotion. A good plot attracts readers, so they want to know what will happen next. Mrs. Woo is a Chinese woman who believes America is the best place to become a prodigy. However, June disagrees and has a miserable childhood and constantly loses hope causing her to have a bad attitude. Her bad attitude caused the plot to change. June shouted at her mother that she wished she was dead like her deceased sisters. This caused the mother to give up and shut down. Until later on in the story, the mom gifted June the piano back. She did this as a way to tell her daughter she understands.
