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.

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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
