Jing Mei's is initially an agreeable and child who grows to become rebellious towards her mother.

The conflict of story is that Jing Mei's mother wants her to be 'Chinese Shirley Temple'. Her mtoher thinks that Jing Mei is genius andwants her to be obedient to her expectations.. However Jing Mei is different from her mother's expectations.

It is an external conflict because Jing Mei is struggling with her mother's expectations

Jing Mei's mother migrated from China so she wants her daughter to have same roots. This motivates her to treat her daughter to become 'Chinese Shirley Temple'

Jing Mei's mother grew up in China and then migrated to America. She has all her childhood memories from that culture. Therefore her expectations or treatment re influenced by her background and up-bringing.

Retrospective point of view is critical ot the story for it helps the narrator to explain the events that have happened in her life and has led her to becoem what she is.

The end of story where she takes inherits her mtoher's piano after her mtoher's death. The ending tells that despite of not wanting to learn piano and being a rebellious child, Jing Mei makes an effort to learn and understand her mother's desire for her to learn piano.
