//The Joy Luck Club// by Amy Tan shows specific and subtle connections between the mother characters and the daughter characters. These connections, which are highly significant when reading the //Joy Luck Club//, help the readers understand the main point of the novel: the correlation between the Chinese Americans and the traditional Chinese. To specify, the characteristics of Ying Ying (the mother) and Lena (the daughter) draw parallel through their nature and ability to predict the future, their pessimistic outlook of the life, and their irrational views of the world. Thus, Lena is like the American Translation of her mom Ying Ying.  St. Clair ’ s family has the book of The Twenty Six Malignant Gates; it tells a story about how the mother ’ s prediction becomes true when she tells her daughter not to ride the bicycle outside. The fact that this family has the book of coincides the ability of Lena and her mother Ying Ying ’ s ability to foresee the future. At least 3 examples and explanations of this body statement ’ s supporting text references are here, not yet decided on which ones I will use out of the many jot down. (rice husband … etc) Husband ’ s pocks, freckles … <span style="font-family: 바탕;">etc to what mother said when if she did not finish her bowl of rice, every grain of rice will be a pock <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">… <span style="font-family: 바탕;">BROKEN MARRIAGE <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">“ <span style="font-family: 바탕;">waiting between the trees <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">” <span style="font-family: 바탕;"> how she knows that her aborted child was a son <span style="font-family: 바탕;"> <span style="font-family: 바탕;">Ying Ying and Lena <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">’ <span style="font-family: 바탕;">s pessimistic outlook of their lives is apparent in various text references. In the chapter //The Voice From the Wall// Lena is over reacting in a negative way of what she hears from her neighborhood. <span style="font-family: 바탕;"> (example quotes not decided) will use quotes from RICE HUSBAND (thinking that the friend <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">’ <span style="font-family: 바탕;">s death is her fault), voice from the wall. Etc <span style="font-family: 바탕;"> <span style="font-family: 바탕;">Lean and Ying Ying both share a superstitious view of the world. When Ying Ying explains that she was born in the year of the Tiger, (Waiting between the Trees, use a quote from this chapter about the tiger and explaining how her former marriage related to the spirits of the Tiger and how it became a ghost. <span style="font-family: 바탕;"> <span style="font-family: 바탕;">Despite the fact that Lena is different from Ying Ying physically and in the way she grew up, she somehow shares a lot of characteristics of her mom. It makes sense how Lena could translate her mother <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 바탕;">’ <span style="font-family: 바탕;">s poor English into the right words for her dad. She knew what was going on. After all, they share a lot in common.
