In "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan

Answer 1

i don't think that she really got away with making a lot of mistakes on the piano  because .. she was really stubborn and always making her mother disappointed in her.

Answer 2

The answer is:

Jing-mei did not care about getting good at playing the piano, because she was playing the piano just to please her mother.

Hope it helps!
