JLC 1

It has been a while since I had actually read this book so I wasn’t entirely sure how I would feel about reading this book again. It was actually more interesting reading it this time because I had more of an understanding about what was going on. As I said before in the previous Journal entry, I found the references a lot easier due to knowing the background of Mah Jongg. I can definitely see how this book shares some similarities with Jane Eyre because of all of the motifs and symbols that have been mentioned and shown all throughout the story. In addition to have a better understanding of the material in the book, I am also aware of the fact that the stories are being told be each sister. When I first read The Joy Luck Club, I had no idea there were stories being read by other sisters. I think it will be interesting to see if there are differences between each sister is shown in the book. And if these differences are shown, will they be indicated by what their sisters say or their own actions. I think it also be interested in how the war changes around and what they may do as a result of that.
