Amy Tan: The Joy Luck Club

The novel, The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan takes house in a couple of different places. All of Suyuan Woos childhood memories take place in China. After coming to the States the setting takes place in San Francisco California in 1949. Also on that point are few different time frames. The time frames consist of the 1920s to 1980s. I have to give this timeframes because of the flashbacks that are given in the book. The extensions that I believed are closely fully developed are Jing-ming June Woo, Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong and Ying-ying St Clair. Jing-ming has taken her baffles Suyuan place in the Joy Luck Club subsequently she died.The parts of the Joy Luck Club are planning to send June off to China so she fag end meet her twin sister her become was trying to find before she died. When she reunites with her twin sisters, she gains a profound intelligence of who her contract was. Suyuan Woo started the Joy Luck Club in China. She is the start out of June. Suyuan had to leave Kweilin because of a war. Suyuan was unable to continue her journey because she became weak. As a result she left her twin daughter on the side of the thoroughfare in China. Despite her struggles she creates happiness and success where it lacking.An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, Ying-ying St Clair are all member of the Joy Luck Club. They all go through trail and regret. Trails, tribulation and spiritedness lessons that the mothers go through are past down to the children. The character that is most interesting to me is Suyuan. I chose Suyuan because she is a strong woman who refuses to reduce on her hardships. She seems desire a character who tries to find hope in time of despair. This quality is what I admire about Suyuan. I similarly believe I am most like Suyuan because I can relate to her fierce love for her child.She fears being estranged from her daughter for several(prenominal) reason such as different upbringings. I believe most parent can relate. Since I am parent I to annoyance about these things and do emergency the best for my children as well. Just like Suyuan I can be a little critical as well. The mood of this novel is perplexed, distressed, regretful and deferential. First the mothers all speaking in turn, remember clear memories with their relationships with their own mothers, and they worry that their daughters memories of them will never get the same potency.Secondly when the daughters recall their childhood memories with their mother also supports my idea of the mood. And last when the daughter tell about their delimas in the adult life as they search for an answer which adventually bring them back to their mothers and their relationships begin to heal. The major conflict in this novel is the mothers are trying to instill in their daughter a part of their hertige. The daught take this a medley or their mother lack of american culture. But all the mother want to do is save their daughter from the pain and grief they felt as chil dren.Both the mother and daughter struggles with their identies. The mothers try and reconcile the past is their point and the daughter are trying to find a positive offset betwixt their loyaty to their heritage and some sort of independance. This is resolved when the bridge is gapped between two countries, two coevals and two cultures. The ending to the story was genuinely satisfying because June was able to find her inner Chinese identity. And doing that she built a bridge to her mother. June gives hope to all the other characters struggling for a stronger mother and daughter bond despite the culture, age and language differences.I signify the author message has to do with finding your true identity and substantiate your family roots strong. I think despite language barriers, culture and generation gaps people should try even harder to understand each other. But I guess sometimes it take a lose to find something else. I would recommend this story to other people. But most t o my daughter when she gets holder. I would hope that the story touches her heart like it touched mine and define that we could recognize the gaps and bridge it up sooner than later.
