Conflicting Cultures in Gish Jen's Mona in the Promised Land

Monica's confrontational cultural novel by Gish Jen in the promised land clarifies the cross-cultural conflict and provides especially direct insight into the basic human behavior. People facing cultural conflicts need to explore the fundamental human commons to break through the gap between cultures. Doing so will reduce the difference between her culture and the unknown culture, and eventually she will be able to bring her closer to the primitive human race.

In acclaimed novels such as "mona promised land" and "world and town", Gish Jen explores the emotions between the two worlds immigrant children often experience. Jen looked directly at how this sense shaped her work "Harvard University, Self in the Art, Culture, and Interdependence as Messi's lecture of last year." For a long time I felt that some literary culture is a bit different for me. In the past, I attended the East - West author meeting, but I told that a Chinese young writer wrote that she did not want to go out, thought that I could write a novel and earn money by writing a novel. I smiled, everyone laughed, and "This is typical for Chinese people, I thought that we never said it in the West."

Gish-Jen's novel "Mona of Promised Land" is about Mona's life. Her parents are the first generation of Chinese-Americans who own pancake shops. Mona grew up in a community where many Jews live and many of her classmates are Jews. Through her best friend Barbara, Mona was introduced to the reformist Jewish temple. Over time, she will also convert to this form of Judah without parental consent. This made her parents very unhappy. Conflicts about the values ​​and choices in life between Mona and her mother Helen became intense, and Mona reached Helen 's statement that he should satisfy his mother' s wish or leave home. She chose the latter. Years later, when Mona married Seth of her boyfriend, we saw Helen again visiting Mona after a long silence. The novel is written in a shiny style with a sense of humor. Gishjen tries to challenge some identity with humor

Gish Jen is the theme of the conflict generation as the central theme of Mona which is the promised place. Jen seems to have a totally different view from Amy Tan overall. Although Jen's idea in her book is more uniform and not multifaceted, he argues more clearly about litigation as a criticism or contribution to ethnic minorities and the public's discourse in American society. The next quotation from Seth, one of the promised Mona characters, is a symbol of the entire book. "But why can it become irrelevant to race?" (Jen, 195) In the United States, as many people with different backgrounds live together, this concept can be found in many other places It may be more so in the United States than it is. An example of such a passage is that the parents of Mona are looking for a house.
