Book # 10 Done

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua
176 more pages
Nonfiction
So i was right, the mother does change but it's almost at the end of the book that she does. When Lulu started getting older she started to be more revellious and her and Amy would fight all the time. They went on a vacation to China, I think, whatever the place with the famous Red Square is. But anyway Lulu and Amy got in a fight and it was in public and Lulu said some horrible things to her mom and Amy screamed them right back but Amy was so upset I guess and she ran out of the resturant they were eating in. During her run she realized that if she kept pushing the violin on Lulu that her daughter would hate her and Amy would never hear her again. So when she came back she told Lulu that they were giving up the violin. Lulu said that she still wanted to play but just for fun, nothing else. And also she wanted to play tennis, and Amy wasn't aloud to help at all. Amy had a hard time adjusting to her daughter not being great at what she was doing but she respected Lulus wishes and kept out of it, mostly. She did research almost everything there is to know about tennis. When Lulu found this out she said, "Don't wreck tennis for me like you wrecked violin." After that Amy let Lulu practice on her own. And Lulu was motivated too, something that she learned from her mother. But now they are a happy family with two Samoyds, one of my favorite dogs.
Amy had been told by countless people that she neede to lighten up on Lulu and I think that that final scene at the Red Square finally made her see that everyone; Lulu, Sophia, her mother, her husband, and other family, was right when they told her Lulu was not Sophia. Not the same girl that Amy was, she marched to the beat of the own drum and Amy didn't want to see that.
