Please, no plagiarized work! Amy Tan focuses on the dreams, expectations and the hopes that the Chinese immigrants have. The immigrants find it difficult to adapt to the relatively dynamic and modern world hence the constant resistance when it comes to dealing with a new culture. The Chinese-Americans of the second generation are in particular ashamed and resist their heritage. In the beginning, the mothers and their daughters in the worst of terms but eventually the daughters will realize that their mothers all along wanted not the worst but the best for them.
Women in the book are depicted as having outstanding characteristics. An-Meis mother who had been not there when her daughter needed her most was later remarried as a concubine to Wu-Tsing. However it was a shameful act to remarry according to the Chinese culture once one was widowed. When-An Mei later meets her mother she learns so much from her. She was brought up with much emphases placed on the need to wear descent clothes in presence of her family. When her Popo passed away An-Mei lived with her mother and her husband. An-Mei later would die from overdosing on opium. Rose would later have the devotion to take care after her siblings.
The marriage of Rose to Jordan is on the rocks because of leaving all the decisions to be made by Jordan. She later thinks that the thought of American people is very complicated and to some extent do not make sense just like she had been taught by her mother. In the process of getting their divorce, she stands for herself and claims to retain the ownership of the garden and the house. She thinks of the garden to be having the freedom that she had lacked.
These Chinese mothers were all taught to have a certain level of respect for their elders and keep promises made to any member of a family to the point of even sacrificing their own lives.
