read the passage from “i know why the caged bird sings.”

occasionally, though, mrs. flowers would drift off the road and down to the store and momma would say to me, "sister, you go on and play." as i left i would hear the beginning of an intimate conversation. momma persistently using the wrong verb, or none at all.

"brother and sister wilcox is sho'ly the meanest—" "is," momma? "is"? oh, , not "is," momma, for two or more. but they talked, and from the side of the building where i waited for the ground to open up and swallow me, i heard the soft-voiced mrs. flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting. they were interrupted from time to time by giggles that must have come from mrs. flowers (momma never giggled in her life).

marguerite’s thoughts in this passage the reader to infer that mrs. flowers

feels she is superior to momma.
is embarrassed by momma.
thinks of momma as a friend.
likes to make fun of momma.

the rhetorical technique most used in this excerpt is parallelism. parallelism is a technique which author used in sentence as substitute of repeated synthetical similarities. it is the effect of rhetorical technique.

explanation:

explanatithe story "two kinds" , revolves around a strict relationship between a mother and daughter. the mother tries very hard to make sure her daughter jing mei , is successful in life and lives up to her full potential. the story explores alot of different themes. though , there is one theme that really stands out. you cant force someone to be something that their not.

jing mei's mother was an immagrant from china. she moved to the united states to give her daughter , jing mei , a better and successful life for her. and being raised in china with their strict rules and striving to be perfect took a toll on her and her daughters relationship. she pressures her daughter to be great and perfect all the time but it gets really hard for her to live up to her mothers standards. her mother believes that jing mei can be a child prodigy and prepares her to be and act like one. furthermore , the story ends with jing mei getting everything off her chest and seeing the dissappointment in her mothers eyes as she finds out her daughter has not lived up to her full potential. and her mother has finally gained an understanding of her daughter.
