Paper Summary:
The paper examines Amy Tan's short story, "Two Kinds" that paints a picture of how belief in the American dream can significantly affect mother-daughter relationships. The paper discusses how the hopes of the older generation are often unrealistic and cause the child to blame himself for failures.From the Paper:
"The "American dream," despite being a reasonably abstract idea, tends to act upon individual people in very direct ways--it can actually influence the way people behave and the choices they make in their lives. This makes the American dream a reasonably potent force within the confines of American society. As Amy Tan's short story, "Two Kinds," indicates, belief in the American dream can significantly affect cross-generational relationships."Sample of Sources Used:
