Hello!
I have been wondering about the argument for my research paper. (If you still remember it's going to be about Amy Tam) My keen interest about the mothers and daughters' interrelated life was aroused when I read the graduate essay of a female graduate student which I found in the library. The author focused mainly on Tam's The Joy Luck Club , and the analysis in the essay provided me perceptive knowledge about the conflicting yet interwining relationship between the four pairs of mothers and daughters. Therefore, I want to investigate more about this kind of delicate love by doing observation from other works of Amy Tam. My major concern is about the relationship about Tam's own life and her works, for I think the novels, though fictional, have a lot to do with Tam's life; in other words, I think the books reflect the agony and tragedies Tam went through earlier in her life.

2. Tam's works(Fictional and autobiograohy)

3. Comparison of the similarities between the chararacters and Tam's experience.
