Write an essay that contrasts or compares the portrayal of motherhood in Amy Tan’s “Two Kinds” and Tillie Olsen’s “I Stand Here Ironing”. Remember that you are arguing, trying to prove your thesis; therefore, you must support your argument (thesis statement) with concrete textual evidence, including sufficient quotes. You will cite each story once and have two entries on your Works Cited page.
