Double Face & A Pair of Tickets: Lindo Jong & Jing-Mei Woo
"And although we don't speak, I know that we all see it: Together we look like our mother. Her same eyes, her same mouth, open in surprise to see, at last, her long-cherished wish"(288, Jing-Mei Woo).
This quote shows that Jing-Mei Woo is a round character, because she changes her image of herself and her mother. In these last two chapters, the narrators see how they are connected to their heritage. Lindo fears that she has made Waverly unlike any Chinese, but sees that shes wrong. When Jing-Mei goes to China to meet her sisters she isn't sure how Chinese and like her mother she really is. I can compare this to the movie Ever After. In the movie, the main character Danielle disguises herself as a high ranking woman. She meets and falls in love with the prince, who after finding out that she was simply a peasant, wants nothing to do with her. Even though it hurts, Danielle realizes that she is who she is and that she is proud of herself regardless. The Prince soon realizes that he loves her no matter what her social standing. The moral of the story, and of The Joy Luck Club, is to be who you are no matter what, and never be ashamed of what or where you come from.
