N o v e l Activity 1.19 continued by Amy Tan My Notes from The Joy Luck Club A b o u t t h e A u t h o r Born in 1952 in Oakland, California, Amy Tan is author of several critically acclaimed novels like The Kitchen God’s Wife and The Bonesetter’s Daughter, as well as short stories and children’s books. Her first novel, The Joy Luck Club (1989), was an international best-seller that became an award-winning film. Tan says her first important piece of writing, however, was a letter she wrote in the third grade to raise money for a local library. Tan’s fiction often deals with tensions between Chinese immigrants and their Americanized children. Praised for her lucid images and gripping storylines, she believes her first career as a business writer helped her develop her simple yet forceful style. © 2011 College Board. All rights reserved. My daughter wanted to go to China for her second honeymoon, but now she is afraid. “What if I blend in so well they think I’m one of them” Waverly asked me. “What if they don’t let me come back to the <strong>Unit</strong>ed States” “When you go to China,” I told her, “you don’t even need to open your mouth. They already know you are an outsider.” “What are you talking about” she asked. My daughter likes to speak back. She likes to question what I say. “Aii-ya,” I said. “Even if you put on their clothes, even if you take off your makeup and hide your fancy jewelry, they know. They know just watching the way you walk, the way you carry your face. They know you do not belong.” My daughter did not look pleased when I told her this, that she didn’t look Chinese. She had a sour American look on her face. Oh, maybe ten years ago, she would have clapped her hands—hurray! as if this were good news. But now she wants to be Chinese, it is so fashionable. And I know it is too late. All those years I tried to teach her! She followed my Chinese ways only until she learned how to walk out the door by herself and go to school. <strong>Unit</strong> 1 • Perception Is Everything 67
