TWO KINDS
by Amy Tan
"Two Kinds" is a short story from the book The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. It was first published in 1989. The short story outlines the main character Jing-mei Woo’s childhood and the effects of her mother’s high expectations for her life. The mother pushes her daughter to become a prodigy, while the daughter (like most children with immigrant parents) seeks to find herself in a world that demands her Americanization.
