Question 7 of 10 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Read the passage from the short story "Two Kinds” by Amy Tan.She seemed entranced by the music, a little frenzied piano piece with this mesmerizing quality, sort of quick passages and then teasing lilting ones before it returned to the quick playful parts."Ni kan," my mother said, calling me over with hurried hand gestures. "Look here."I could see why my mother was fascinated by the music. It was being pounded out by a little Chinese girl, about nine years old, with a Peter Pan haircut. The girl had the sauciness of a Shirley Temple. She was proudly modest like a proper Chinese Child. And she also did this fancy sweep of a curtsy, so that the fluffy skirt of her white dress cascaded slowly to the floor like the petals of a large carnation.Which effect of migration does this passage describe?
