This question is about "The Joy Luck Club"

The representation of divorce is an event that shows a change in tradition and foreshadows the spirit of independence of the daughters.

Explanation:

"The Joy Luck Club" is a book that represents the difference between tradition and the modern, portraying mothers and daughters of Chinese descent who present different cultural shocks in relation to independence, the role of women and the role of the family.

The divorce is represented in this book, as a great breach of tradition, both maintained by the mothers of the book. However, the author uses the representation of divorce as an atp for the independence of her children, not as an act of rebellion against culture and customs.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
