In the short story Amy describes how Jing-Mei feels about her mother pushing her to do things she does not like. The humiliation she feels every time she fails, and her mother is not concerned one bit about it. This is an illustration of a tiger mother raising her child in America. The mother believes that just because they live in the United States they can accomplish the “American Dream” and do whatever they please to become. In addition, she believes anyone can be a prodigy and that’s what she has in mind for Jing-Mei to make her succeed at any cost.

In this article the argument is that a Chinese mother is trying to raise her very Americanized daughters the Chinese way. Speaking of their cultural behavior towards the children they do not allow them to be themselves. They must obey the tiger mother otherwise they will grow up to be weak and crooked. They must indeed do everything their mother ask if they want to be successful in life otherwise they will be a nobody. They kind of make it seem as the child is a property who they can toggle around and make them fit wherever the parent desires them to be.

I found this very interesting how Souris, made a good point and great comparison between the daughters. The narrator says she only has two types of daughters which in a way is discouraging and dehumanizing. Which is what the mother did compared both daughters and pointing out how one is better than the other. She said Jing-Mai did whatever she wants and did not listen to her. I would like to incorporate this with my essay and argue this point because Jing-Mei was just trying to please the mother even though she did not enjoy it.

Chua, Amy. Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mother. New York, Kindle Ed., The Penguin Press, 2011.

Amy is another great writer who illustrates the Asian culture and how they raise their children in a very controlling way. This is relevant to Jing-Mei’s story she lives in the same environment as Amy treats her daughters. She thinks this is the only way to become successful by limiting their children to certain things not allowing them to have fun and the childhood experience of a typical child. In her book she gives a list of things her daughters were not allowed to do such as attending a sleepover, having a playdate, be in a school play, complain about not being in a school play, watch tv or play computer games, chose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than an A, not be the number one student in every subject except gym and drama and play any instrument other than the piano or violin. This just seems irrational going beyond the extend of not letting the child decide what she would like to be in the future they want to be in total control of who they become. And apparently this is how it was going for Jing-Mei if she did not interfere with her mother.

Fong, Yem Siu. “Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies.” University of Nebraska Press, vol. 11, no. 2/3, 1990, pp. 122–23. JSTOR, doi:.www.jstor.org/stable/3346838. Access 6 Nov. 2019.

Fong made some good critics about the book The Joy Luck Club, she points out that Jing-Mei mother tries to reinforce the Chinese cultural traditions and the way they are raced she wanted her to be more Chinese. However, she fails to do so because she forgets that in order to do so they should be in China. Being in America makes it harder because the child is being “American-made”. I would like to argue this on my research and implement this point. Jing-Mei feels like she does not fit in with her culture when they go visit their stepsister in China and by then it was too late to learn the language.

Fickle, Tara. “American Rules and Chinese Faces: The Games of Amy Tan's ‘The Joy Luck Club.’” MELUS, vol. 39, no. 3, 2014, pp. 68–88. Academic Search Complete, doi:.www.jstor.org/stable/24569861. Access 28 Oct. 2019.

In this article it is being said that Jing-Mei mother uses shames towards the daughters and role play by making them do all the tasks. Fickle, talks about the stereotypes of the Asian math genius and computer whiz kid. The tedious labor the child must bear with, the inhumanity of it all due to the manifestations of the tiger mother standards. This is something I would like to really implement on my research because I strongly believe parenting styles are very important in the child’s developmental and psychology.

Guo, Karen. “Ideals and Realities in Chinese Immigrant Parenting: Tiger Mother Versus Others.” Journal of Family Studies, vol. 19, no. 1, 2013, pp. 44-2. Academic Search Complete, doi:.10.5172/jfs.2013.19.1.44. Access 24 Oct. 2019.

Guo discusses the harsh parental practices of the Asian culture to make their children succeed in life. Which is quite similar to what Jing-Mei’s mother is doing. Her mother makes her do several tasks, she fails then she goes on to the next one sort of trial and error. It also says that she is determined to raise her child the “Chinese way” just as she has been brought up. This is a good fit for my research as Amy Chua has a similar approach.

Wood, Michelle Gaffner. “Negotiating the Geography of Mother-Daughter Relationships in Amy Tan’s ‘The Joy Luck Club.’” Midwest Quarterly, vol. 54, no. 1, Sept. 2012, pp. 82–96.

Wood, states that the general critics come among those Chinese parents with American-born children expressing the mother-daughter relationship they have. They have some misunderstanding, loneliness and perhaps ambivalence. Which I can agree to I certainly believe that was the main issue Jing-Mei felt the mother did not understand her. There was also disagreement between the two in what she wanted to do with her life. They discuss the lack of cultural bond possibly due to the fact the mother cannot share their landscapes which creates an issue to the mother who may not understand the generation gap. With that being said I would like to integrate this as part of my article.
