... "
A little girl who lives a lonely life with
her mother, divorced,
an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes
to the country to
spend a weekend with her father and his new wife,
who is wholesome,
happy, and a good cook and gardener. ... In each of her three novels she represents different roles of the mother and the effects of each; The Joy Luck Club depicts mothers living through daughters, The Kitchen God’s Wife portrays mother teaching daughter through past experience, and finally The Hundred Secret Senses displays non-existence of the mother in the relationship. ...
Unlike Suyuan and Jing-Mei of The Joy Luck Club, Winnie and Pearl of The Kitchen God’s Wife, learn about each other’s secrets; instead of tension and pressure as large factors in the relationship, love and understanding come into view. ... The Kitchen Gods
Wife by Amy
Tan
is a perfect example of a fictional novel in the American Literature
curriculum
that expands the students knowledge of Chinese culture. ...
The Kitchen Gods
Wife opens
up as a simple modern day narrative
about a family to which a modern
day reader can relate. ...
Reading literature that explores
another culture is very important
to todays teens, so it is very
beneficial to include books such as The
Kitchen Gods Wife
in American Literature curriculums. ... It is very important to broaden and diversify
teenagers
minds, and placing books with as much information in them as
The
Kitchen Gods Wife into American Literature
curriculums is an
efficient way to get teenagers to broaden their
horizons.
