Amy Tan Thesis (immigrants)

Before I talk too much about my thesis, I will provide the reader with a brief summary of what The Joy Luck Club is about. The Joy Luck Club revolves around four families, primarily the relationships between the mothers and the daughters. Each of the four mothers are new to America, and thus are 1st generation Chinese-Americans. These four mandarin speaking Chinese families and American born daughters create the Joy Luck Club. Each of the four mothers in the story has different views of China. This is done to illustrate different versions of China throughout the story.

There are still several other possible thesis’s that could be used, but I’m going to use There are significant

The drastic differences from Asian-American immigrants and other immigrants come from the completely different ideals and the difference in culture. As a result of all these differences, the differences between Chinese-American immigrants cannot be applied to all immigrants.

The difference between 1st generation Chinese-American immigrants and 2nd generation Chinese-Americans comes from the differences in their culture as well as the difference in their ideals. Another thing that causes differences is that the children are required to know English in order to succeed in American Society. The Parents don’t need to know English as much as the children, because they aren’t required to get their education. Since the children know English better then the parents, they see more of America and try to fit into American society, while their parents try to raise them to believe in the Chinese ideals and Chinese culture.
