Amigo Brothers Short Story Theme
Not every conflict has a winner. When it comes to conflict there has to be a resolution.

It does not matter whether a conflict has a winner or loser.

In "Two Kinds", Amy, the main character, had a conflict with her mother. Her mother wanted her

to succeed in many things, but Amy didn't want to. In the end, Amy's mom died and Amy found

out that she actually liked the music that her mother made her play. There was no winner in this

situation as Amy was not happy and her mother ended up dying. This conflict was resolved with

no winner or loser.

"Amigo Brothers" is short story that focuses on a conflict between two characters.

Antonio and Felix were two good friends who both loved boxing. They eventually got

matched up against each other.

    That’s why she differs so much from the rest of the people around. They’ve not had enough time to experience life the way that she has, and learn the lessons she has. Amy recalls being scared of Widow Glendower as a little girl. She remembers her father saying ““That old woman has helped many another person when they wasn’t no one else to doctor them and now some of them same people call her a witch” (68). Her father knew she was a kind woman with wisdom people didn’t comprehend.…

    This can be seen when Matthew is expressively explaining to Amy as to why he thinks her life isn’t great. As one of his points, he argues, “You don’t have any real friends because no one acts like themselves around you. You’re always with an adult,” (McGovern, 22). This is significant because Matthew shows that his outside inferences make him believe Amy is unable to make friends since cerebral palsy requires her to always have an aide. Due to this necessity, Amy is unable to share her interests and feelings with anyone, and isn’t able to fulfil her dream of having solid friendships in her life. To add onto that, a scarcity of social life is also evident when Amy is being told by her parents that she is not allowed living in a regular college residence. Amy, infuriated, asks her mother (in her computer-generated voice), “‘SO I HAVE TO LIVE IN THE INFIRMARY?’ ‘Of course not. You won’t be in the infirmary. You’ll be next door,’” (McGovern, 259). Even though Amy knows her capabilities, her mother assumes that she is not able to live on her own. What she doesn’t know is that because of moving Amy, she is limiting Amy’s sociability with everyone else at the school that lives together. Amy is in fact a very friendly and talkative person, despite the obstacle of using a voice computer machine to speak. But due to her disability and the problems connected with it, she suffers…

    The events in Amy Tan’s story, “ Two Kinds”, cause the reader to feel sympathy for both the mother and the daughter. In the story, the daughter is put through countless tests and longs to prove her importance and the mother has struggled with losing people important to her. After reading over the story, I found that I most sympathize with the daughter because of her constant struggle of failure and not feeling like she is enough. One quote that shows my claim above is in the third paragraph of the short story; “…

    Lens Model of Conflict

    In a conflict, each person will have their own view of the situation at hand and react differently. As the old saying says, there are two sides to every story. For example, let’s say you have a couple that gets into an argument or should I say, a conflict, about their child spilling juice on the living room carpet. The mother may view it as being a simple mistake and can easily be cleaned, whereas the father may make a big deal out of it. Obviously, both perspectives are different based on their reactions.…

    Amy’s isolation and disconnection from her culture and other characters worsened after Charlie’s death. When Amy wondered and groped about Charlie’s death, no one could tell her what had really happened or how he felt or what he was thinking before he died. Amy remembered back to when the news came to her of Charlie’s death. It was two officers at her door, Amy welcomed the officers in and they told her to have a seat. Only one officer spoke and said “on the Bruckner Boulevard Expressway….head on collision…dead on arrival… didn’t suffer too long…nobody was with him, but we found his wallet.” Amy didn’t want to believe it she was saying the officers were lying, but she finally realized that it was reality and that Charlie was dead. Charlie’s death really hurt her deep and worsened her emotionally.…

    As humans, conflict pervades every aspect of our lives; it is inevitable. Whether it’s between good and evil, strength and weakness or love and hate, can only define our true natures. It is the test of inner conflict that can ultimately reveal our noble qualities or magnify or vindictive characters.
