The Journey to Freedom in The Joy Luck Club and The Color Purple

There is a proverb that "suffering likes a company." This situation is very correct many times. When people encounter some kind of pain, they often become miserable. But sometimes suffering is a way for people to connect and form friendship and bonds. Women in oppression societies particularly hurt, so we unite to gather powerful power to overcome sorrow. They use each other's support to be happy and work together to achieve a common goal of success.

The bond of common struggle connects Alice Walker 's novel "Purple" with Amy Tan' s "The Joy Luck Club". Rape, suicide, death, war, oppression and racial discrimination invade two novels. In The Color Purple, Celie overcomes racial discrimination, violence and other problems in search of dignity and love. At Joy Luck Club, daughters struggle for acceptance, love, and happiness. These characters experienced many difficulties, but their survival is not because they did not become a bitter individual but also became a more complete individual.

The story of "Happy Club" and "Mother's Journey" stands for "Starting with Gussie" Maxine Kumin's short story "Mother's Journey" is a core issue like Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" . The story has many similarities with the two works of her daughter, but they are stories about very different cultural traditions. Whether cultural differences are important or these works reflects the universal truth about the story between mother and daughter.

Amy Tan 's' The Joy Luck Club 'by Amy Tan' s "The Joy Luck Club" is a collection of short stories about the relationship between a mother born in China and her daughter. The story titled "Four Directions" relates to a woman named Waverly Jong. The story is to tell her that Waverly is married to an American man named Richard. She is still a young girl, so Waverly is a chess champion. She remembers the strategy I used in my game and the life I was trying to tell my mother about marriage with Americans.
