Hello Everyone! I am not as far along in Joy Luck Club as I would like to be at this point, but it is coming along. I figured I might as well start at the beginning with my blogging.
I think that the story of how the Joy Luck Club began is a very meaningful one. Jing-Mae taking her mother's place in the east corner is very symbolic. A lot of time when a family member dies someone else has to step up and take over their roles even though it may forever seem like there is something missing. The tradition that is started with the Joy Luck Club is one that should be looked upon with a great deal of respect.
One thing that I really appreciate in this story is how her auntie's are telling her that she must go and tell her sisters about her mother. There are not many of us who can understand what it would be like to have to share our mother with poeple that we have never met, especially when we are still mourning her loss.
The story has me captivated thus far!!
Favorite of the day: The way the name JOY LUCK got started in Chapter 1!
