The Joy Luck Club

The first chapter was really good but at times it was sort of confusing, more of with what person was telling the story and whom they were speaking of. But clearly, June was speaking about her mother and the stories that she told her before she died. It’s really odd that June doesn’t know much about her mother. It’s almost as if Suyuan didn’t’ want her daughter to know anything about her life, what experiences she had growing or anything. But when she told her about her journey before June and June’s father existed, I don’t think she really wanted to her the truth or even the story at which is why she switched up the endings every time. Now that her mom’s dead June has take this responsibility, which is a pretty big deal, and take her mother’s place at the mah jong table, which Suyuan started with the other three ladies. I really liked this story a lot because I noticed how these four women come together to play this game just to have a good time and converse on life and what the future holds for them. It’s like how people in America would meet up and play a game of poker or other card games that are famous.
