In the story Jing-mei has to deal with her mother who is pushing her to be something she is not such as Shirley Temple, a dancer and a piano player. Jing-mei at first doesn’t at first mind what her mum is doing until it goes too far. Her mother pushes her to the point in which she makes a huge fool of herself. This is where Jing- mei is pushed to the limit to do whatever she could to stop her mother from pushing her to do the best. In the process Jing-mei hurts her mum’s feelings
