Amy Tan's personal story "Two Kinds" is a part of her life when she was between her mother's expectation and frustrations. Her mother always wanted to teach her somethings such as religion and geography. When her mother fascinated by music, she wants her daughter to play piano. The author did not want to play piano, but she cannot resist her mother. After the talent show fiasco, she did not follow her mother's wish anymore. She did not think she can ever play piano, but she play very well after many years later. I think this story shows how bad can child affected by parent's forcing. I believed she can play very well if her mother did not persist too much. Her mother always showed the frustration on her face and insist things that Ni Kan did
