- Ni kan, You already know how. Don't need talent for crying!
- In the begining of the story, Two Kinds by Amy Tan, we are introduced to Jing-Mei, the protagonist, and her mother. Jing-Mei's mother came to San Fransico from China hoping to have a better life. She believes that if Jing-Mei can be a prodigy, they can live out the American dream and to her, it doesn't matter what kind of prodigy she is. Jing-Mei could be an actress like Shirley Temple or she could be knowlagable in a certain subject.

The tests would range from multiplying numbers or predicting temperatures in different cities to memorizing as much as possible from the bible in three minutes. It came to the point where Jing-Mei no longer recognizd her reflection in the mirror. She swore to not change who she was for her mother.

- After seeing a child who looked like Jing-Mei play piano on TV, her mother decided to arrange piano classes in exchange for cleaning a man named Mr. Chong's house. Mr. Chong was deaf and partially blind. When Jing-Mei would play, she could make as many mistakes as possible and he would never realize. After a while playing piano, she is put into a talent show which turns out to be a disater. Since Jing-Mei never practiced properly, the piece she was assigned to play came out terribly.

- Resolution
- Jing-Mei is gifted her piano back on her 30'th birthday from her mother and father. Jing-Mei saw this as a sign of forgiveness. After her mother had passed away, Jing-Mei had the piano fixed and played the same song she had failed to play at the recital. She looked to the right of the page and played that piece. She realized that both the pieces "Perfectly Contented" and "Pleading Child" were two halves of the same song. It related to how there could be two kinds of the same daughter.
