1. Should joy luck club be divided in small individual stories

In my opinion that joy luck club is written by many small stories is not connecting them but putting them in different order has a meaning. Because if you read you will find out that each story has a different character and each character has a different story behind them. The characters that our class read so far is all women and all of them are from China. Joy luck club is mostly talking what would it be like to be a Chinese immigrant or a different nationally in a foreign country. If each story had become a individual small story instead of putting the together it would lost its purpose of being in joy luck club of explaining that the culture and idea of Chinese women in a foreign country and how society treated them or the stories that people didn't know about them. because they are almost one idea, of explaining the differences of cultures and heritages.The stories of Joy luck club mostly described the mother daughter relationship.The mothers would like to use examples and broken English to teach their daughter life lessons so that they would not make mistakes that their mother had learned.The mother tries to be the best and express the love towards their daughter, and tries to guide them in their life.

Dear Rose,

We had been together and faced a lot of problems. The experience of being together and the pressure we have to face is breaking us apart.

A family is two people deciding their future, not only one. Rose I am tired of how quiet you are and the ignorance to the world.You should care about my feelings instead of just do what people say. I hope you can sign this file for divorce and take your responsibility.

Sincerely, Ted
