Ask Yourself ~ Where should my literary focus be when reading Two Kinds?
Glad you asked that.
* You should be thinking about internal and external conflict. Where is there evidence of these two in the story?
* You should be thinking about motivation. How does conflict motivate the characters to behave in a certain way?
Hint ~ Conflict can be present in close relationships, where the characters are motivated to influence each other. Example of this might be a mother-daughter relationship.
Do you have an idea of what the story is about?
