So far We have read four chapters of the book Joy Luck Club and all of these four chapters are written by four different people. They are all written by women, one daughter and 3 wives. Jing-mei Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St.Clair. All these 4 different women talk about different situations and stories of what they have gone through, they all talk about true life stories. They all talk in first perspective. Their stories are connected in a sense that they all talk about relationships between people, especially about mother and daughter relationships. They all come from China which makes them have a connection to the story. The stories are about their childhood in China to where they are now in America. An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying all tell of how they learned of the expectation that they would sacrifice themselves for their husbands. The stories they tell are usually very sad and emotional because they are stories something to do with something that they didn't want to do. Like leaving the country, leaving their family/kids back e.t.c. They also all talk about how hard their life is with strict rules and hardships. They had a connection in where they talk about women's role in social life in their culture and how respect came before anything. All four women who wrote this were very strong emotionally, even after they went trough a lot, they never gave up and lived very strong.
