So now on nights when my mother presented her tests, I performed listlessly, my head propped on one arm. I pretended to be bored

. And I was. I got so bored that I started counting the bellows of the foghorns out on the bay while my mother drilled me in other areas. The sound was comforting and reminded me of the cow jumping over the moon. And the next day, I played a game with myself, seeing if my mother would give up on me before eight bellows. After a while I usually counted only one, maybe two bellows at most. At last she was beginning to give up hope. –“Two Kinds,” Amy Tan Which inferences about the daughter does this passage best support? Check all that apply. Her primary motive is to count bellows. She wants her mother to feel differently about her. She feels a strong need for independence. She is motivated by the fun of playing a game. She wants to influence her mother’s behavior.

Answer:

I believe three options can be chosen:

  1. She wants her mother to feel differently about her.
  2. She feels a strong need for independence.
  3. 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.

<span>Celebrities should use their status as role models to bring attention to social issues.

The center of a cluster web for an essay should contain the main idea of the essay. From the essay prompt, we know that the essay should address the issue of whether or not celebrities have a responsibility to act as role models. The statement in the center of the cluster web should be a broad statement that answers the question without any specific evidence. The evidence goes in connecting bubbles.
