Amy Tan/Mothers & Daughters in Joy Luck Club
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay, in which the writer discusses how Tan explores the intricate bonds that exist between mothers and daughters. The novel concerns four aging members of the "Joy Luck Club," who gather regularly in San Francisco to play mah-jongg. By exploring the lives of these women, both past and present, and their relationships with their native-born American daughters, Tan demonstrates that all of the women, Chinese-born immigrants and American-born natives, share the experience of having to differentiate themselves from their mothers, while also, simultaneously, endeavoring to maintain a relationship with the one woman who connects them intimately with their past. No additional sources cited.

Amy Tan�s �Joy Luck Club� and the Mother-Daughter Bond in All Cultures:
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses the quest for personal
identity that is so deeply interwoven in the relationship between
mothers and daughters. The reason the Amy Tan book and its
subsequent movie were so successful was the fact that those
relationships served as examples of how women, young and old,
strive to place themselves beyond the control of strong mothers
and become individuals. Countless stories throughout history
document the evolution of the mother-daughter relationship. In
the twentieth (twenty-first) century, the stories have often been
set in the context of developments in psychoanalytical and
feminist theory. Of equal value, the stories of mothers� and
daughters� understanding of one another in the context of their
unique culture is important. Whether or not that culture is one
of first and second generation immigrants or the differences
between women born into different generations of the same
fundamentalist religion, the relationship of mother and daughter
transcends and defines all other relationships. Bibliography
lists 8 sources.
