In the story "Two Kinds" there is a mother and daughter relationship developed though not in a positive way. In the beginning the daughter was pressured by her mother to be something special and talented and something she was not. Jing-mei is very obedient in the beginning and always trying to please her mother. However, as the story goes on, she begins to rebel against her own mother. This story is the most relatable to a good amount or people my age because at one point or another most of us have done something our parents didnt want to do. I had gotten several tattoos and piercing even tough my father told me not to. Rebelling has been the norm for years. This story Jing-mei is fed up with her mom telling her what to do and how to live so she starts to do her own thing. This turns out to be a bad idea on her end because she makes a fool of herself when she plays in the taken show and is humiliated because she half-assed her way through he piano practices. Even though Jing-mei rebels, she hurts herself more than her mother and after words are said and things are done, she can never take back what she says and that will stay with her for the rest of her life. This was easily relatable for me because I think we've all been there at least once if not more.
