Bonds between Mothers and Daughters in Breath, Eyes, Memory and the Jo

Bonds between Mothers and Daughters in Breath, Eyes, Memoryand the Joy stack Club Breath, Eyes, Memory and the Joy Luck Club both take out the bonds between breeds and daughters. The relationships between the mother and daughter depicted in BEM and JLC is mostly influenced by a foreign culture conflicting with the Ameri mess culture. However, that is where the similarities pole for the two novels. After practice the Joy Luck Club, my interest in Chinese culture was increased due to the fact that it is a ingrained culture very old and with a powerful philosophy. After reading Breath, Eyes, Memory, I have no interest in learning more than(prenominal) than about Haiti. The culture seems very dark, depressing and void of intelligent thought. For legion(predicate) immirgrants, leaving home is not an easy task. For Sophie leaving everything that she has ever cognize was not very easy for her. It is also very troublesome to disengage someone or something for an envoirment tha t they a grown very acustom too that not ever knowing you mother and the only way that you can see her is by leaving you homeland and everyone you have know there. For a daughter to not know her mother is a very difficult sittuation. Having a sister I know the bond that a mother and her daughter have. In many ways they are each others confidants. For Sophie there were many things that she k sunrise(prenominal) and that was fine with her however like I said in advance you did not know her mother and that gave her enough reason to leave everything to go to new york. When the oppourtiny finally came Sophie she had to suck it up and leave on a plane bound for the young World. Meeting Her mother for the first eon was very difficult for Sophie however the most hardest thing to deal with was the dreadful chang... ...an because they would be of the same culture. The change from living some where that is dominated by one culture to moving to a neighborhood that has a commixture of c ultures, is going to take its toll. For example it was unheard of that a young fille would not listen to her mother, but in America, were individuality is stressed more it was common for young girls to try and find their own way. In expiry problems always arrive during immigration. In my opinion immigration would be more successful if people realize how much they had in common with others quite then how they are different. It would also run more smoothly if we realized that people are going to be effected by the new culture and that change is inevitable. Works CitedDanticat, Edwidge. Breath, Eyes, Memory.
