(Follow all directions here. You need to end up with more than 2 paragraphs!)
2. describe the connection between these two titles and the "two kinds" of daughters.
(The word "connection" in these directions means you need to find the similarities, not the differences.)
3. Refer to events and details in the story to support your response.
("events and details" need to be either direct quotations from the stories or very close paraphrases.)
4. Use the reading selection to help you answer the question.
(You're free to find your ideas and details in the stories themselves. You don't have to do these things from memory.)
First off nobody has been able to answer this when I looked...
Please help out, maybye give me a basic answer to work off of.
The title "Two Kinds" refers to the statement by the mother that there are only two kinds of daughters: "Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind!" At the end of "Two Kinds," Jing-mei puts the title in a different light when she realizes that the titles "Pleading Child" and "Perfectly Contented" are "two halves of the same song." In an essay, describe the connection between these two titles and the "two kinds" of daughters. Refer to events and details in the story to support your response. Use the reading selection to help you answer the question.
