The Long Term Affects of Lack of Communication
In this passage of “The Moon Lady” from The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan goes more in depth on how language and miscommunication impacts women’s lives, primarily the relationship between Ying-ying and her daughter. Communication plays an important role in the novel in determining whether a person’s relationship with another is strong or not. Therefore, the lack of communication from an early age can create long term distance between a mother and daughter's relationship. In the passage, Ying-Ying repeatedly mentions how her daughter does not see nor hear her, demonstrating that there’s very little understanding for one another. This disregard that Lena has towards her mother is explained more in depth
