coherent essay that addresses this question:
Is The Joy Luck Club solely a story about mothers and daughters? Does gender matter in this novel? Or does the novel deal with universal themes and values?
Do NOT summarize the narrative (we all know the story) and do NOT merely give a description. Write a strong opinion essay with adequate support from the text. Document the page number. You may use external sources for additional information but do NOT use critics’ interpretations or reviews. Cite any sources used. The question has been carefully crafted to solicit your personal view and interpretation.
