Literature Response: "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan

Option #6

The experiences that I have in my life, that compare and Contrast to Jing- Mei "June" society. Jing-Mei "June" Woo is a major character of "The Joy Luck Clubs. She is a Chinese, she was born in America. She lives in the Chinese traditional family and society. She is the only unmarried member of The Joy Luck Club. She has never fully understood her mother and seems directionless in life, because During June's childhood, her mother used to tell her that she could be anything she wants; however, she particularly wanted her daughter to be gifted, that cause Jing-Mei "June" Woo had a troubled relationship with her mother. So of this issue that Jing-Mei starts to argue was her mother Suyuan Woo. But her mother Suyuan Woo don't let she to choices because she doesn't want her daughter reaped the same life that she have in china and during the war. so in Amy Tan book, The Joy luck Club, she was mention about Jing-Mei "June" "mother was Face of war was seriously ill, she had to give up two twin daughters, But life is the fate of a teaser, she wakes up that find her rescued, but her Twin daughters Whereabouts unknown(132-136). So until her move to American, that after she gave birth a daughter name June". She put all attention to fully take care of June. And put all her wish and hope that push June to be successful and the life that she want June to be. So in June childhood her mother force she studied piano and other things, she did not want to learn. This made her feels that her mother did not respect and understand that make she pressure and can't breathe. Because she not accept the way that her mom to treat and want she to acting for her life. , and speak out for her heart and what thing that she wants for her life. She knows her mother love she and her mother don't want to repeat the traditional life that she has on china. She want June have a good and happy life to live in this society.

Moreover, that compares and contrasts to my personal experiences with Jing-Mei "June" Woo in the Book "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. It was similar and different because I am a Chinese and I was live in the Chinese traditional family. But I was live in the open society. I can make my own decision and my mother will not force me to studies any that I don't want to studies. I have my freedom to decide to do for my life. But, beside that when I was young my mother always help me make a decision because my mother wants me to following the right way and doesn't want my life to be wrong. However, the life that similar between me and Jing-Mei 'June" are our mother help me and June to make a decision and want us to following the way that our mother want us to following to do for our life.
