Question: True or false? "Family and honor should take priority over the rights of the individual family member." What do you think An-mei and her mother would respond? Would they think the statement is true or false? Would they be somewhere in-between
Families are an essential part of live. With family, individuals potentially live a better live them their elders. The stories, memories, and experiences elders’ covey provides a promise, well-built generation. Many first-generation adolescents particularly possess the challenges between the outside world and family complications. There is always a division that that never overlaps (similar to parallel lines).
In the novel, a mother named An-mei Hsu tells The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, Scar the second part of the first story, Feathers From a Thousand Li Away. She tells the story about her mother (who is unnamed), her grandmother Popo is very aggressive and angry towards An-mei Hsu. This is because she re-married after her first husband died. She was supposed to remain a widow. Also, she married a man who had more than one wife, and Popo did not abide by it. She married out of her own will, which went against Popo's will.
While reading Scar, I have noticed that An-mei Hsu’s mother takes family honor as a priority. I say this because when she was making soup for her grandma, she “cut s piece of meat from her arm. Teas poured her face and blood spilled to the floor. She took her flesh and put into the soup,” (48). An-mei Hsu shows the devotion and perseverance many individuals have for their culture. This demonstrates that she treats her cultural traditions as a priority rather than her individual rights, and in this case, her health. An-mei Hsu’s Mother portrays that she understands that she has obligations, but also that she will do what ever fits her.
This also relates to An-mei Hsu because although her Auntie disrespected and mistreated her, she also took family honor as her supremacy. From the criticism to the beatings and the insults about her mother and how she will turn into arrogant person, An-mei Hsu still respected and “came to love [her] mother,” although the stories about her were a disgrace.
Overall, An-mei Hsu and her mother’s decision about "Family Honor should take priority over the rights of the individual family member,” is in-between. Trualse <==== (the combination of true and false).
