The Joy Luck Club By Amy Tan
Significance:
i think this book is mabey one of the best iv ever read if not the best. this book is a very moving story, that revolves around a group of 4 Chinese women and there daughters. each chapter is either from the perspective of the mothers or the daughters and it really demonstrates the character within each of these beings. it also demonstrates how you should never give up and to always believe that there is a way. or at least that's what i took away from it.
Perspective:
this book was written by a Chinese American author, honestly i don't know much about her other than that. this book takes place in all sorts of different time periods and areas of the world but mainly in 1970's San Francisco and 1940's china. so there are allot of different ways of thinking amounts the different characters. and since in the period of this in china the Japanese were invading which put quite a strain on the emotions and made some of the situations allot worse.
Evidence:
i don't believe that the author is trying to make an argument, but a story of the difference between china and San Francisco which are two of the most different places on the earth and its also about these older women who were raised in china and bore all these hardships coming to America and raising children in San Francisco. and i guess if you must need evidence for a fictional story it was very hard to have a life in china in the 1900's and its based off of type of things which are facts known facts.
Connection:
as i said before this takes place mainly in 1930-40's china and 1970's San Francisco. in china during the 1940's the Japanese were invading china and this as a result pretty much starts the story and ends it at the same time. but it was also a hard time two grow up in because of the lack of freedom and the closed mindedness(if that's even a word). it really displays who its a hard place to be, compared to San Francisco. And even in the U.S.A. how there are many injustices.
Supposition:
lets Say that they were trying to come to the USA like in 2008, well that would kinda suck for them unless they had green cards or something because we got coast guard and all sorts of thing y0u show to prove you are a citizen, but even if they did have the stuff it would probably be the same overall i mean mabey they could communicate to each other better becuase of modern day technology but its honestly still pretty much the same , the daughters would mabey be a litle different but the mothers still are from china were its all about working extremely hard because they got like tradition and other stuff.
