Shirley Temple was a famous child movie star in the 1930’s. In paragraph 6, what did the mother do to make her daughter into a “Chinese Shirley Temple”?



Paragraph 6
(6) Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to the 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.

Answer:

Jing-mei's mother took her to a "beauty training school" to get her daughter to look like Shirley Temple which only resulted in a disastrous look.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds" revolves around the story of how a Chinese immigrant child is 'expected' to be a prodigy and made to 'be molded' with the American way of life. The story presents how the protagonist’s mother tried to 'help' her daughter make a name for herself in America.

In the given paragraph, Jing-mei narrates how her mother wanted to 'shape' her into becoming the next Shirley Temple. She wanted her daughter to become famous. So, she took her to a "beauty training school" and cut her hair, which only resulted in a much more disastrous outcome.
