In “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, The two daughters can compare but are distinctively different as well. Waverly Jong grew up a child prodigy playing chess and Jing Mei was a pianist prodigy. Both girls thought their work was simple and it came naturally for them. Waverly had her own bit of fame and continuously brought home her awards and trophies. “We didn’t always pick the right kind of prodigy”(Tan 1).

some may not be close to this one at all. One example of a myth being similar to this one is an ancient Chinese myth on how the four rivers of China were created, in China dragons weren't fire breathing monsters, they were more like serpents that could fly and shoot out water instead of fire. In the Chinese myth four dragons turn into the rivers of China, which is similar to the Japanese creation myth because the gods turn into different things as well.

The reason I chose Horace Gray as my Supreme Court Justice is that he was the deciding justice on some landmark decisions in United States’ history. For instance there is United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) as well as Ball v. United States (1896). Another reason I chose Gray as my Justice was due to the fact that he appeared to be really intelligent. He accomplished many things at a much younger age than normal people would. For instance he enrolled into Harvard at just the age of thirteen. He…

However, food contributes so much more beyond being a primary necessity for my life. I was born and raised in China and immigrated to the United States at the age of thirteen. As a result of mainly eating Chinese cuisine, especially white rice on a daily basis for over ten years, I have gained a special feeling of it. From my personal perspective, white rice…
