The Joy Luck Club
Quote 1:

“‘Of course you can be prodigy, too,’ my mother told me when I was nine. ‘You can be best anything’” (Tan 33). 

-mother's dreams = daughter to be the best she can be
-if mother cannot be famous, the daughter can be = family fame 
-mother wants daughter’s success so she doesn’t face the same challenges
-M trying to live through her daughter 

Quote 2:
On your Own

Quote 3: 
“After seeing, once again, my mother’s disappointed face, something inside me began to die…And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me…The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. She and I were the same” (Tan 35).  

-Daughter is broken because she will never live up to her mom’s dreams
-BUT she realizes she is powerful on her own
-she knows she can live her own dream, and her mom can support her or not

Quote 1:

“She had no gowns, no jewels, nothing. And she loved nothing but that” (Maupassant 6).
