Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story written by author Amy Tan. The main character and narrator Jing Mei remembers how she disappointed her Chinese mother, whose love for her daughter was expressed in a strange manner: she decided her daughter should become a child prodigy.

At the very beginning of the story, Jing Mei says her mother tried to find the right kind of prodigy for her to be. Shirley Temple was chosen, Jing Mei being forced to watch her movies as if they would serve as training and she would learn how to act and sing from them. Her mother then took her to a beauty training school to have her daughter's hair curled to resemble Shirley's hair. The result was disastrous:

Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to a beauty training school in the Mission district and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz. My mother dragged me off to the bathroom and tried to wet down my hair.
