Reading two short stories

Today in, class we were going to write about two short stories. We chose the short stories "puppies for sale" and "two kinds". These are two very different stories. We chose "Two kinds"  because we found it interesting and Ann, our teacher also showed it to us. "Puppies for sale" did we chose because we where looking for a short shortstory and found this one very moving, in the story we learned that even though there are a huge difference between pet and owner, there is a great equality too. 

Two kinds 

The story takes place in Chinatown. This story is about a mother who want her daugther to success in life. The mother wants her daughter to try many different activitetes. eventyally the mother wants her daughter to be a pianist, but the daughter is not good at the piano at all and she tries many methods to find her musical talent. Through the whole story there are many conflicts between the daughter Amy and her mother.

The climax of the story is at a piano recital and the event that unfold the day after. The mother wants to be proud of her daughter and her musical talent. I think it seems like her mother wants her to be well at the piano more than the daughter herself. She is doing this recital and she actually feels confident, but the performance ends up in a disaster. She lets her mother down and makes a fool of herself. After the performance she regrets not taking the piano lessons more seriously. She finds out that she has let her mother down, after that she also realize that she really wish she had tried harder, and not taken her mother for granted.

Puppies for sale:

The Short story is about a farmer who needs to sell his puppies. The farmer accidently meets a little boy who wants to buy one of the puppies. The farmer tells the boy that his puppies came from good parents and that they cost a great deal of money. He offers the farmer thirty-nine cents to take a look at the puppies. While the puppies followed their mother the little boy noticed a puppy which jumped after the others, the little boy told the farmer that he wanted the last puppy.

The father told the little boy that the puppy never would be able to run and play with him like the others. The boy rolled up the one leg of his trousers and showed the farmer a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself which led to a specially made shoe. The little boy told the farmer that he didn`t run well himself and that he needed someone who understood him.
