Respuesta :

Oo is this the joy luck? I just read that at school! Anyways, they are both competitive, auntie Lindo is showing off, but jing meis mom is just making things up to make her jealous. Auntie lindo believes that she is good until the talent show

Answer and explanation:

Jing-mei, her mother, and aunt Lindo are characters in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". Jing-mei is a willful and intelligent child, but she is not happy with her mother's expectations of her. Jing-mei's mother wants her to become a child prodigy, a Chinese Shirley Temple or something of the kind. At the beginning, the daughter is a bit excited about the idea of receiving so much attention and being recognized for her talents. After a while, however, she gets bored from the hard work and impositions, and decides to disappoint her mother.

Aunt Lindo has a daughter similar in age to Jing-mei. When she comes to Jing-mei's house to visit, she is constantly complaining about her daughter. She says she's tired of having to clean all the trophies her daughter wins in chess competitions. That veiled bragging only fuels Jing-mei's mother's ambition even more. She becomes determined to prove that her own child is also a genius, tha she deserves more fame and attention than her friend's daughter. That attitude, of course, is not aligned with Jing-mei's. The relationship between her own mother and aunt Lindo becomes another source of nuisances and expectations for her future.
