Tiger Mom Notes
“One of my fathers bedrock principles was never complain or make excuses. If something seems unfair at school, just prove yourself by making twice as hard and being twice as good.”

I agree with this statement because it shows her dad just wanted her to feel better and stronger about herself. Even though everybody faces a problem, they automatically think they are the problem; they automatically think they’re covered with their excuses. When really it’s never an excuse. Excuses and complaining gets nobody in life anywhere. Complaining could have led to a lack of motivation or laziness, which obviously her father did not want. But when it comes to excuses I know they are never acceptable at very professional job, you might just end up losing your own job. So excuses should never be used in life because it just isn’t right, I know I used to complain and make excuses, yet I still do things that keep me in line. In the end I realized I could always do better. I choose to complain a lot, which is also known as procrastination. From what I have learned, giving excuses to others just feels wrong because I always think of the other person, and see someone give me excuses otherwise, I would be disappointed. Overall, I know I should be humble, since no one wants to be given lies or excuses when things are meant to be completed. In other words, we must learn from our mistakes.

“I supervised her practicing, 1: Oh my god, you’re just getting worse and worse. 2: I’m going to count to 3 then I want music. 3: If the next times not perfect, I’m going to take all your stuff animals and burn them.”

This reveals the mom’s coaching is very harsh and demanding. But she puts pressure on her daughter just so she can do better. Her mother just wants everything perfect, which really nobody or nothing is perfect. Therefore, everyone makes mistakes, but everyone can learn from their mistakes and take that to improve them or review him or herself. Nobody has the titled name

    2 The note goes on to state an apology to her parents. She felt as if she was disappointing them, by not working hard enough, and also "not good enough to please her parents" (7-9). Everything she had done seemed to be the best she could do, but to her parents, it wasn't good enough. She begins to fantasize about what it would be like if she were a son, "shoulders broad as the sunset threading through the pine" (10-11). Would she have gotten more attention? Would she then be praised for the jobs she has accomplished? Would it be good enough for her parents? Since she was a girl, her parents expected less from her. She tried to stand up and take charge, by doing chores and tasks that a boy would be required to do. Had she been a boy, her life would be a lot easier, and she would have gained more respect from her parents. She admits that "tasks did not come easy to her" (24). "Each failure, a glacier" (25). The glacier…

Therefore, he was sent to the King’s Arena, where he shall be put to death.

    Repeatedly, the narrator labels herself not “smart enough” for what her family requires of her. “Tasks do not come easily”, she says, implying that she struggles with assignments that she is expected to complete quickly and with ease (Mirikitani 24). She does not get sympathy from those around her because they do not understand her difficulty with certain duties and labors. She uses the tragic comparison, “Each failure a glacier. Each disapproval, a bootprint. Each disappointment, ice above my river” (Mirikitani 25). Every time she makes a mistake or does something that her parents look down upon, her self esteem and confidence are lowered and it leaves her with another scar. Over and over, she writes, “I apologize” to try to express her sorrow and…
