A good relationship with a mother can be the one of the most rewarding blessings in life. Just like any relationship a human has, there will be moments in which the relationship can be dreadful, and moments when the relationship can be superb. However, the way in which people interpret the situation, resolve the issue, and above all try to make the relationship healthier, will determine how successful the relationship will be in the future. In the excerpt by Amy Chua Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom and the excerpt by Amy Tan The Joy luck club the authors explain how they are having an issue with their mother/daughter at a certain point in their life. These excerpts resemble the idea of a relationship not being in a state of tranquility, but

Abraham Lincoln once stated, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe it to my mother.” Mother and child relationships vary greatly. Some mothers can have a very tight bond with their child, while others tend to be rather distant. The mother is responsible for caring for their child and helping the children grow. They should be able to guide their child down a good path, and not force them down a life that they do not want to do. This can be caused by many different reasons. In the book Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan Waverly has a distant relationship with her mother. The relationship between me and my mother is a complex bond that can not compare to any other mother and child relationship. My bond with my mother contrasts to other relationships
Mothers want their daughters to be perfect at everything they do, while daughters don’t see the point in learning skills. Mother-daughter relationships can be described as caring or uncaring. These are both shown in Amy Chua’s memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom, and Amy Tan’s novel, The Joy Luck Club. Both stories focus on Chinese-American mothers, trying to teach their daughters in “traditional chinese ways”. Each story is written from opposite points-of-view the impact of each comes across excellently.
God created all of us and perhaps a mother is the best creation of god. It is the mother who gives her child the chance to see this beautiful world. She is the light when there is no hope, she is the shadow when there is no place to hide, she is the shelter of her child when the storm is destroying the whole world. Mother is like the one no one can compare anything to her and for a lot of people she is the one who helped them to make them who they are now. She is the guide who shows the best way for her child to their success and become an integral part of their life. Overall, she always tries to do something best for her child and here is the problem. Because, sometimes some mother do not figure it out what is best for her child. In “Two Kinds”
Some are good, some are horrid. Some mothers get along like a best friend would with their daughter, and some could step on them like a door mat. Mostly we can see that mothers always try to encourage the “right thing.” In the story “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid we see a mother-daughter relationship that seems to be

In contrast to the relationships of fathers and sons, mothers and sons have an emotional bonding throughout their lives. Mothers have physical and emotional connections and are always there
The mother-infant bond is the familiarity and attachment a mother forms with her offspring. These helpless babies are reliant on their mother’s nurture for survival. This dependence reaches farther than a physiological need. Infants rely on their mothers for a wide variety of demands. The mother-infant bond is critical to maximizing the fitness of each individual, as well as the growth of the species.
Nowadays when thinking of a parent a mother is visualized but what does one do when a mother is no longer present to foster their child’s needs? The short film “Hair love” by Matthew A. Cherry develops the idea that individuals need to foster communication in relationships as it allows self-expression, eases adversity, and forms a stronger bond which results in confidence and a healthier relationship. Self-expression is a crucial need for a healthy, prosperous relationship with oneself and family. Communication is one type of self-expression that leads to deeper understanding of relationships. In the short film, there is barely any dialogue, instead the animation relies evidently on the emotions and expressions of the characters.
Finally, when her husband becomes angry and starts to scolds her, she chooses to endure it. Although she knows that her job is no less valuable than her husband’s job, she does not refute him. Her choice avoids many unnecessary quarrels between her and her husband. She is the first and only person to say, “I love you.” (Gilb,360) in the entire story. She loves her husband and her family deeply. According to a research in psychology today, Barton Goldsmith mentions that “Mothers are the emotional backbones of the family.” (Goldsmith, P6) Obviously, she provides the holding place for everyone’s feelings and does her best to keep them from being and getting hurt.
This is made obvious by the subjective reflections of the now grown daughters as they write about their relationships with a distorted and one-sided view. “When individuals describe and evaluate an important relationship, this “accounting” of the relationship imparts meanings to the events, actions, and emotions of their past history, their present interactions, and their anticipated future together.” (Bojczyk, Lehan and McWey) This is how they identify their formative years and how they identify themselves as daughters to their mothers. Sufficed to say, despite the differences in perspective and experience, it is nearly impossible for the mother-daughter relationship to be clinically reviewed, they are heavily subjected to the author’s opinions and reactions to their mother.
Right or Left? In the story, The Lady Or The Tiger, the king places you in the coliseum, where you will decide your fate. The King's judicial system is not fair because you cant either be forced into marriage or get ripped to pieces by a tiger, and it's also used to entertain the townsfolk.
My mother and I have always had a close bond in our relationship. When I was young, my mother was forced to raise me on her own, and during this time is when we developed a strong connection. Our relationship has never consisted of fighting, only the usual bickering that occurred during my teenage years. I have always reached out to my mother when I need advice, a shoulder to cry on, or am simply looking for a good laugh. Without I doubt, I consider my mother, my best friend because she continues to love me unconditionally despite the mistakes that I make. Together we are very open with each other and I value the fact that I tell her everything because I know this is something that is unique to a mother-daughter relationship.
