Amy Tan is perhaps the most famous Chinese—
American writer in the west．And her first novel The
Joy Luck Club is an international best—seller pub—
lished in 1 989．And this novel remained on the New
York Times best—seller list for nine months．So it got
many awards．What’s more．this novel has been trans．
1ated into 25 languages including Chinese．Why can
The Joy Luck Club get so great achievement?In my
opinion。the most important is that it has the feature
of cross—culture；some people said that this novel sat．
isfied the western people’s curiosity to Chinese peo—
ple；and some people also said that the writer’s style
is humorous and interesting．
Indeed．this novel has a characteristic of autobi．
ography．Amy Tan set the clue—-the relationship be—
tween the Chinese immigrant mothers and the Ameri．
can born daughters．And according to her own experi．．
ence，she analyzes the Chinese—American’s situation
in America．So in the novel，we can not only find the
characters’anger，sorrow and joy，but also understand
the writer’s view and stand— point．
The writer
aims to describe the collision between the two cultures
through the conflict and compromise between the
mothers and the daughters．To some extent， the colli．
sion reflects the Chinese—American lire situation in
America．In the novel，it is obvious that the cultural
conflicts between China and America lcad to the con．
flicts between the mothers and the daughters．At last
the mothers and the daughters get on well with each
other，which may represent the compromise of the two
cultures．Maybe it is just the writer’s good dream．
Cultural identity is certain group’s identity or the
members’identity in one cultural group，which is a
sense of belonging．Cultural identity can be divided in．
to two kinds：the identity the official set and the iden．
tity people themselves set．Cultural identity may come
from different ethnicities，nations，genders，ages，so—
cial classes，religions or geographical areas．These i—
dentities combine individual，cultural group with cul—
ture closely．
I、The Immigrant Mother and Cultural Identity
In the novel， the four mothers have migrated
from China to America when they were young。 Before

family and marriage．Their identity has been in dan．

only men’s attachments， so they can’t get freedom
and their proper rights．The terrible sufering made
them feel their identity breakdown．They desired their
own freedom and happiness．They did their radical ac．
tions to break through the bound．And then they went
to America in the hope of finding their own happi— 本文出自www.lunwendashi.com，在代写英语毕业论文与留学生论文方面具有丰富的经验！如果需要原创英语论文，英文论文请联系QQ 898498550
