Amy Tans Quickwrite 1/12/12


Quick write 1/12/12

Amy Tans piece “Two Kinds” was a compelling autobiography. Her piece was very interesting and told about her life as a child and how her relationship with her mother remained the same through her mother’s life. Amy Tan put a lot of emotion into her writing. She explained about her childhood and how she was expected to be and how she really was. This story gives many examples of traditional life and how some kids don’t want to be forced to be someone they’re not. Her Chinese name is An-mel meaning “blessing in America.” To me this name is a symbol of how her mother and others expected her to be.
