The Joy Luck Club

In the book The Joy luck Club we come to the final story “A Pair of Tickets”. This story tell of the Jing-mei who after her mothers death finds out that she has two twin sisters over in China. Jing-mei is asked to go see the girls in place of her mother to tell the twins that their mom has died. Jing isn’t so sure about this as she really didn’t know what to say to the twins for she had no idea that they even existed before her mother’s death. Jing’s father tells her how Jing’s mother left the twin with money and jewels for someone to find because she thought she wouldn’t make it and she didn’t want her baby girls to die with her. The twin are found by Muslims who take care of them, when they go looking for the twins mother she has already moved away to America with June’s father. June’s mother though writes letters to friends and relative to see if they can help find her lost girls. After June’s mother dies they are spotted by and old class mate of her mothers and a letter is sent to the Joy Luck Club.
June is Chinese with that her mother says that she possesses a certain essential Chinese below the surface. June denied this all her life with her mother, but when June finally goes to China for the first time in her life she feels like what her mother has been telling her has been true. She feels different in China like she belongs there. Even though June has never been of lived in China until she goes to see her half sister, she still has a sense that she is strongly connected to China in someway. June realizes that it’s true what her mother says and sees now that she and her mother are more alike then she had thought before going to China.
When June finally meets her half sisters Chwun Yu and Chwun Hwa she doesn’t really see her mother in their faces like she thought she would. The three hug and mutter “mama” with that June’s father takes a picture of the three. As the picture comes out June finally sees that all three of the look like Suyuan. This connects June with her mother more physically as the three compare very closely to Suyuan. This puts it on June that she is like her mom very much so not just in the feeling of Chinese now, but also the look of her is close to her mother.
The ending of this book is very befitting to the Joy Luck Club. I think that if Suyuan was still alive June would have denied the entire true that was coming out of this trip to China. June would have fought against her mother not wanting her to be right about it. So with Suyuan gone June is able to see what her mother was like and take it in better for she couldn’t argue with her mother about it she was able to except it. So the ending is well thought of and I liked it. June was able to open her eyes and see her mother truly for the first time.
