Introduction

The “Joy Luck Club” by Amy Tan is the film that accounts the narratives of eight Chinese mothers and their American born daughters. Their daughters always turn down their constant criticism on the matter of everything, from the choice of life partner to hair styling. In their stances, these warnings were not of significant worth and they found their mother's advice as disturbing and interfering. American-born girls are not aware of the fact that what has motivated these advices and the difficulties that Chinese mothers had experienced in China before migrating to America. As a result, the mothers observe it clearly that their daughters are going deep in contemporary American culture and failing to see what is deep inside their ancestors. Daughters are unaware of the familial heritage of suffering that directed to their firm potency of continued existence, which their mothers attempt to bestow them.

In the meantime, it is very much painful for mothers to see their daughter's marriages are not successful as they anticipate less and less and so getting less and less. They remember an occasion in their earlier period when they were experiencing related situations but challenged what they supposed was bad destiny in order to discover their real value (Tan, 2006). This paper will propose a plan for delivering culturally competent offerings to one of the chosen characters appearing in the story.

The Issues of Cultural Transformation

All through movie, 'The Joy Luck Club', different storytellers contemplate on their incapability to interpret conceptions and feelings from one tradition to another. Fractional cultural indulgent of both the mothers and the daughters owes to their partial comprehension of verbal communication. As well, the impediments that present among the mothers and the daughters are frequently because of their lack of ability to get in touch with one another. Even though, the daughters recognize some Chinese expressions and the mothers verbalize some English, contact frequently turns out to be a matter of conversion, of expressions whose intentional implication and acknowledged significance are indeed quite alienate, directing to understated misinterpretations.

The primary state of this complexity with paraphrase takes place when Jing-mei recounts the narrative of her mother's founding of the Joy Luck association. After making attempts to clarify the importance of the club's name, Jing-mei identifies that the conception is not something that can be interpreted. She indicates that the daughters believe their mothers are unintelligent for the reason that of their broken English speech, at the same time as their Chinese mothers are irritated with their daughters who do not realize the culture distinctions of their tongue and who do not aim to get ahead of next to their Chinese inheritance to their own kids. All through the story, characters raise one Chinese conception after another, just to acknowledge the provoking fact that an indulgent of Chinese culture is a precondition to understand its real significance.
