Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" And Alexis De Tocqueville's "Democracy In America": Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The primary difference between Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" and Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" is that they were written generations apart; other than that fact, however, each author effectively addresses the human ills associated with seeking emotional contentment and economic satisfaction. Found within these two books are specific portions dedicated to this particular aspect of humanity; for Tan, it is "Two Kinds," while for Tocqueville it is "Equality and Materialism." Delving deep into the recesses of Tan and Tocqueville's social conscious, one readily finds that while each author portrays many of the same idiosyncrasies that exist in both past and contemporary societies, they arrive from completely divergent origins. No additional sources cited.

Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club": Psychological
Theories/Perspectives
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The presence of cultural heritage in Chinese-American life is not as significant as it once was, with the overall incorporation not being of high priority to the younger generations. One may readily surmise that this unexpected and often unwelcome secularism has virtually everything to do with the manner in which the passage of time becomes such a significantly painful occurrence for each mother's personal experience. The writer discusses psychological theories and perspectives, as well as the concept of age, as they relate to Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck
Club." Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Amy Tan/Generation in "Two Kinds"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes this short story of generational conflict. The writer argues that in the modern era, the rapidity of social change has made the background of each new generation subtly different from its predecessor, resulting in a breach of understanding that is commonly known as a "generation gap." Amy Tan shows in her poignant short story "Two Kinds" how the severity of this gap increases when mother and daughter come from two different cultures. No additional sources cited.
