Read the excerpt below from "two kinds" by amy tan and answer the question that follows. and after seeing my mother's disappointed face once again, something inside me began to die. i hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. before going to bed that night, i looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when i saw only my face staring back—and that it would always be this ordinary face—i began to cry. such a sad, ugly girl! i made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror. and then i saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me—because i had never seen that face before. i looked at my reflection, blinking so i could see more clearly. the girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. this girl and i were the same. i had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won’ts. i won’t let her change me, i promised myself. i won’t be what i’m not. which character trait emerges as a result of jing-mei's conflict with her mother? honesty willfulness wickedness nervousness

The correct answer to this question is Willfulness. The reason is that the narration of staring at a boring face represents the feeling of frustration and lack of self confidence. Then, as she hits the bottom and starts crying in anger, she discovers she is a determined woman,that she is powerful and mighty, so she finds the courage to keep her determination. On the other hand, judging by the outcome of her reaction, it is not quite possible to infer other trait.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
