Mia Estelle James: A Short Story

She says, “I looked at my reflection… the girl staring back at me was angry, powerful” (601). She embraces this side of herself instead of trying to work with her mother or stand up for herself in a meaningful way. Instead, she just gives up. “I performed listlessly…I pretended to be bored” (601). She purposely practices the piano wrong, “If I hit the wrong notes…I never corrected myself” (603). While she could have made herself into a really good piano player, it was more important to her that she go against her mother. In the end, it’s her own character that suffers.

It wasn’t until that summer I walked across a bright yellow home. Through the windows, I could see an Asian woman was playing a beautiful song on her black grand piano. The sound of her music was like a stream of water running quietly through the green forest. From that moment, I became inspired to learn how to play the piano. I decided to take piano lessons with her and made it a goal to learn how to play the piano. My piano teacher, Ms. Li, was my role model because she showed me that there are unique and fascinating things people can learn to do in this world. As days turned to months and months turned into years, I continued to strive to become my inspiration. Many times, I felt like the Indians on the reservation and just wanted to give up because I felt it was too hard to make it to the top. Eight years later, I’ve completed my piano training. Today, people would always compliment my style of playing when I would play the piano. Sometimes I would come across a very young boy or girl who wanted to learn how to play the piano after they heard me play. I told them, “If you put your mind to it, you can do anything.” My piano teacher has been and will always be my inspiration and role model. Today, I have become a role model and inspiration for many people who want to learn how to play the piano. Role models and heroes are important in shaping people’s personalities and qualities because they provide people with goals to strive for.

I also think Mia moved on to be very famous, because of her amazing talent on the cello. Overall, I think despite all the sadness Mia got her happy ending after

Molly Mullis may not be the loudest person in the Freshman class, but she definitely knows how to channel her voice. Her voice isn’t heard through her mouth, however: it’s heard through her heart. Beginning in 2013, Molly has taken 30-minute piano lessons once a week for the entirety of the school year. This extensive training allows her to play a plethora of familiar and/or challenging pieces; moreover, it has given her the chance to create her own music herself. Often times, she will simply sit at the piano and then see her where her fingers take her. “Usually the songs will come depending on my mood,” she says. Even though many of her improvisations happen at her house, Molly does take time to share her work with the world. Last May, she

Determination is emphasized through the entire story. This little girl is so focused on proving to her mother that she isn’t a prodigy that she doesn’t recognize the potential she has as a pianist. The story is told in chronological order starting from the main character being a little girl to when she's grown up. This is to unfold the story of her childhood and underline the goal. The story uses an anaphora by saying ”You could work for the government and get good retirement. You could buy a house with almost no money down. You could become rich. You could become instantly famous” (Amy Tan, 1). It repeats ”you could” to say with the right effort and determination you can do anything. The mother truly believed the daughter had great potential
