Three days after watching The Ed Sullivan Show, my mother told me what my schedule would be for piano lessons and piano practice. She had talked to Mr. Chong, who lived on the first floor of our apartment building. Mr. Chong was a
retired piano teacher and my mother had traded housecleaning services for weekly lessons and a piano for me to
practice on every day, two hours a day, from four until six.
When my mother told me this, I felt as though I had been sent to hell. I whined and then kicked my foot a little when I
couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why don't you like me the way I am? I'm not a genius! I can't play the piano. And even if I could, I wouldn't go on TV if
you paid me a million dollars!" I cried.
My mother slapped me. "Who ask you to be genius?" she shouted. "Only ask you be your best. For you sake. You
think I want you be genius? Hnnh! What for! Who ask you!"
"So ungrateful," I heard her mutter in Chinese. "If she had as much talent as she has temper, she would be famous
now."
Why does Jing-mei refuse to take the piano lessons in the scene above? Think about the context of the scene. You
may need to review the story and your notes on Jing-mei.
