    In Two Kinds‚ Amy Tan tells the story of Jing-mei‚ who as a child was given the song “Pleading Child” to practice. This song describes who she was as a child‚ desperate to stay the way she is‚ and pleading with her mother to love her the way she is‚ not the way she wants her to be. “Perfectly Contented‚” paints a different picture one that is viewed looking back by someone who has more experience.

    “Huwag kaming kalilimutan. Kaming mga bumagsak sa kadiliman.” Though the parting lines of Sisa‚ Crispin and Basilio in the Noh play Ang Paglalakbay ni Sisa were a little creepy‚ it was nevertheless very effective.
