She never had the opportunity to grow at her own pace and this was something that her mother had to live with every day for the rest of her life. Parental control can also work against a parent/child relationship because even if a child is talented, rebellion will destroy opportunities and appreciation. Jing-Mei might have possessed what was needed to be a prodigy but she spent all of her energy resisting her mother, so she will never know. While this may seem trivial at the moment, we see how this thought plagues Jing-Mei until her adult life. The piano was like a ghost looming just behind them and even as an adult, Jing-Mei's mother believes her daughter simply did not try. Jing-Mei declares that she could not have been a genius but the truth is that neither one of them will never know because so much energy was wasted on arguing about the piano. It is interesting to not that after her mother offers the piano to her, she looks at it like a "shiny trophy I had won back" (9). In addition, in the final scene when she is looking at the piano and touching the keys, she notices the names of the pieces of the songs. Their titles illustrate the changes Jing-Mei went through as a result of the piano and...

The absence of social integration with conventional groups should be influential in psychotic behavior (unless that specific behavior is organically determined and totally uncontrollable); without integration into
E. The exceptions made for impairment and age would open a Pandora's Box of legal precedence. The Death with Dignity Act and any other forthcoming active euthanasia laws will likely continue to follow the same line of reasoning, i.e. that it is the unimpaired individual who must shoulder the full responsibility of the decisions he or she is making regarding the end of his or her life.
