America or China lifestyle

The cyclical that goes on in this book is the way that her mom treats her daughter. The way that Tiger Mom treats her daughter is that she is always strict to her daughters. But in this book, it is kind of confusing. Sometimes she seems strict but at the same time she doesn't seem strict and it happens over and over through out the book. It shows from the view of the child and the mom. Most Chinese moms are real strict about grades and how the child should be. But in this book it often shows how the daughter is almost nothing like what a regular Chinese families would treat them. The different symbols that family teaches her can always keep her Chinese tradition in her even though she has been in America for most of her life. The way that her mom teaches her daughter to be a little more Chinese, then it could pass down to her grand child and great grand child.

And it can pass down to many more generation even though the mom will not alive to teach others. like in the chapter "double face" the mom is scared that her daughters Chinese would be dominated over by the American life style and would change her kids pop chips are good would change the history of the family. The Chinese family would change over time and then hello Charlie how are you, right now it is eleven fourty nine minute, not sure don't if I can finish this blog in eleven minutes. Lastly, Khanh, my cousin says hello to you. The people like to play mahjong's, and they enjoy with friends, trying to keep the tradition of the Chinese history in their family even though they moved to America.

The mom is afraid that since they moved to America, that the daughter would adapt to the American culture and forget about the importance of Chinese Culture. Even though the mother care about the daughter loosing interest in the Chinese culture, she did not really pay attention to how the daughter was changing as she grew up. In my view,the daughter became more Americanized and she began to start slacking off and dropped of college. That is the reason why how she dropped out of college is the opposite of what real Chinese parent would want their daughter to do. The only reason the mom would raise her in America and teaches the Chinese culture is that she wants her to have a better life and education and her mom also wants to spread the Chinese culture around. The mom would only teach her in English because what she wanted to teach her could not be thought in Chinese characters.
