Discuss the question, "why did the author use this literary element so heavily?" Write at least two paragraphs. Your response will not be graded as part of your project, but should help you hash out your ideas in order to do address the idea more clearly on the actual project.
In The Joy Luck Club, each chapter is narrated by one of the eight main characters. I think the author chose to do so the she could show the similarities and differences of the characters. Each character grew up in a different family and has a different outlook on life. Although they all see the world uniquely, they all have many of the same problems and struggles. The reader gets to hear the thoughts and feelings of every character rather than just a few. Since the book is narrated in first person, you get to hear the narrators take on each event that happens in the story. The authors uses this to show the relationship between each mother-daughter pair in the book.
