Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" And Alexis De Tocqueville's "Democracy In America": Contrast
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The primary difference between Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" and Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" is that they were written generations apart; other than that fact, however, each author effectively addresses the human ills associated with seeking emotional contentment and economic satisfaction. Found within these two books are specific portions dedicated to this particular aspect of humanity; for Tan, it is "Two Kinds," while for Tocqueville it is "Equality and Materialism." Delving deep into the recesses of Tan and Tocqueville's social conscious, one readily finds that while each author portrays many of the same idiosyncrasies that exist in both past and contemporary societies, they arrive from completely divergent origins. No additional sources cited.

Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club": PsychologicalTheories/Perspectives
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The presence of cultural heritage in Chinese-American life is not as significant as it once was, with the overall incorporation not being of high priority to the younger generations. One may readily surmise that this unexpected and often unwelcome secularism has virtually everything to do with the manner in which the passage of time becomes such a significantly painful occurrence for each mother's personal experience. The writer discusses psychological theories and perspectives, as well as the concept of age, as they relate to Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck
Club." Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Amy Tan’s “Joy Luck Club” and the Mother-Daughter Bond in All Cultures:
[ send me this essay ]
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.
