Two Kinds Blog

I was very curious to know about this story. I think I was intrigued to know because I wanted to know what the two kinds are. In addition, I also wanted to know how this story was similar (if at all) to any of the other stories. I thought that this part of the story reminded me of Rules of the Game because of how the events all fell into place. It was very similar because of how their mothers both wanted them to be child prodigies, both following them becoming champions at chess. I think the only difference is that Jing-Mei took a completely different approach. I am very curious as to why she is so forgiving of her mother, especially considering the fact that has taken her mother’s place at the Joy Luck Club! I also noticed that there was a mention of death in this chapter. In addition, I was just as surprised as she was when played the piano. It seems like a lot of these stories have given me an idea of how and why everyone is the way they are. However, I thought that this story threw it off because of her actions in the story. I am very curious to see what happens next and how this “relationship” affects the rest of the story.
