Answer:
I believe three options can be chosen:
- She wants her mother to feel differently about her.
- She feels a strong need for independence.
- She wants to influence her mother’s behavior.
Explanation:
This excerpt is part of the short story "Two Kinds", by Amy Tan. The main character, June, is expected to become a prodigy child by her mother, Suyuan. Her mother quizzes her on different subjects and demands that she take piano lessons.
At a certain point, June begins to defy her mother's wishes. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, for instance, she decides to show how bored and uninterested she is with the intention of making her mother give up on her. June is fighting - as much as she can as a child - for own independence. She believes she can change her mother's feelings and behavior if she performs badly at the tasks she is given.
The sentence would be "I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued".
Look at the word choice in the sentence: "improper" and "misconstrued."
Misconstrued means to interpret someone's actions or words in a way that was not the original meaning.
The narrator knows that society will look at her as odd if she jumps out the window, so she doesn't.
