"my mother was doing it again, making me see black where I once saw white" (pg.179-180). These two chapters were about Lena and Waverley. The Lena had gotten married, and wanted her mother's approval and foresight into her marriage. Waverly was engaged to a man named Rich, and she wanted her mother's approval. But the two women seem impossible to satisfy. No man is good enough for their daughters.
These chapters remind me of the movie Monster in law. The two Chinese mothers almost seem to be trying to ruin their daughters' relationships.
The literary device in these chapters would be a dilemma. The two girls are faced with a dilemma. They both love their men, but they want their mothers to approve of them too. It is going to be hard to do both.
I like how you referenced the movie Monster in Law. I love that movie! Good blog!
ReplyDeleteI think its interesting how you compared it to Monster in Law. I never would have thought of that! It is a good example of marriage dilemmas. Good job!
