write a literary analysis:
- What ideas tend to be ‘lost in translation’ between Chinese mothers and Chinese-American daughters? What causes their communication difficulties? Discuss the case of one mother and her daughter from one of the stories in Part 2. The four stories are the following: “Two Kinds” .from The Joy Luck Club story by AMY TAN.
In addition, draw on your own experiences, and feel free to consider any other material from the course or collected through background research. You may also use material from another story in Tan’s novel if you want. Be sure to cite all your sources and list them at the end of the essay.
You must use at least one quotation from the story to develop your analysis. You may use more, but don’t go overboard. I need to read your analysis in Essay, and quotations from the story do not substitute for your analysis.
Before you turn in you Essay, consider the following evaluation criteria:
Have you developed a clear thesis?
Do you make clear interpretive claims?
Do you discuss elements from two stories to support your interpretive claims?
Do you include detailed examples to explain and support your claims?
Do you explain your ideas enough?
Do your paragraphs develop your evidence in a unified way?
Do your paragraphs follow a clear order that is easy to follow?
Is the essay complete?
