“Two Kinds” In the Shoes of a Prodigy
If I were to become a prodigy, I would be a chef because I have the desire to cook. People all over the world would push me to fulfill my destiny. I would make my grandma happy because she is the one that is pushing me right now of becoming more educated and less trouble than my uncles and sisters. For example, Ni-kan didn’t want to be a singer, or a belly dancer, nor a pianist, that much. But her mother was pushing her hard and making her practice the whole week. I predict that the way my grandma is pressuring me, I will become a prodigy of my dreams.

“Two Kinds” Conflict Experience
An experience that I have been in was when my friend wanted me to steal a car radio. I didn’t want to do it because I have never stole anything before, but he said that I would be making money by selling them. Deep down inside me, I couldn’t believe that I did it because it is a crime to steal. After that, I told him that there are other ways to make money. Ever since then we been trying to get jobs, well I got a job . I don’t know anything about him because it has been awhile. All I know is that, I wont end up in jail for theft.
