In her short story, “Two Kinds,” Amy Tan describes the childhood of a Chinese immigrant’s daughter. Jing-Mei seeks to desperately become her own unique person but her mother has other plans for her because Jing-Mei’s mother realizes the abundant opportunities that are available to her daughter. Like many immigrants, Jing-Mei’s mother did not have the privilege of becoming a trained child genius, pianist, or a movie star. Instead, Jing-Mei’s mother had to endure many hardships in China such as losing her parents, her home, husband, and two daughters.

The short story “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan is one that focuses on a mother’s dream for her daughter.

Parents play a significant role in the development of their child’s identity; through different parenting, the results of each child’s behavior, self-esteem, and relationship with his/her parents will vary. Aspects such as culture, race, and financial status, affect the way that parents raise their children. Predominantly, each and every parent aspires for his or her own to become successful. However, circumstances such as negative parent-child relationships, cultural differences, opposing goals, and age gaps will affect a child in his/her upbringing.

The American Dream represents the ability to be anybody and live life to the fullest. In “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, Amy’s mother’s American Dream was for her child to be a prodigy. However, their dream starts to have a negative effect on their lives. Material and superficial aspects start to develop.

Amy specifically only seems to take away the parts about luxury and success. Instead of focusing on the morals and ethics that the Bible teaches, she views the material aspects of a character’s life more important than their happiness or their overall well being.

Once the game has stopped press the green flag twice to start the game over. After every time the ball hits the

Using the whole genome sequence results of 9 cats, non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in P2RY1, P2RY12, and CYP2C19 genes were identified (Table 2). Among these SNPs, the p. P479L missense mutation in CYP2C19 gene on cat chromosome D3.56761959 caused by a cytosine-to-guanine (C>G) transversion has a high probability of altering protein morphology and/or function predicted by PolyPhen2 with a damaging score of 0.997 (sensitivity: 0.41, specificity: 0.98). In addition, the p.A236G missense mutation in P2RY1 gene on cat chromosome D2.110685284 caused by a guanine-to-cytosine (G>C) transversion had some probability to cause functional modification of the P2Y1 ADP receptor predicted by PolyPhen2 with a damaging score of 0.256
