Truth Project

The video was not actually that bad, it was pretty good but the fact that it was a lecture was not that incredible because lectures tend to turn me off. the professor who teaches the class seems amazing because he knows all this things that people tend to just look over and not pay attention to. The way they use rel life people from the true world to answer questions is good because it is always good to hear someone else’s opinion from your level of intelligence and who you can connect to, before you consult the proffesionals. I enjoyed all the discussions because he was simply talking about things that are here and that are real but we simply just put them off because of fear or neglect for the truth. This journey helps one realize different aspects of his or her life that they really do not consider to look at. The small questions that he asks like what is evil?! You know questions that someone knows what the answer is but cannot explain it this questions are things that can twist a persons brain and get then working over drive trying to figure the answer out but you cannot because the answers are just big and vast that different people have different answer. Another cool fact about this whole truth tour is that it can relly test ones faith and to get you asking yourself where you really believe in the right religion, whether you believe in the right belief or do you actually have enough faith in the all powerful God. It gets one thinking of whether they are in the right place at the right time and that everything happens for a reason and that nothing is coincidence. It gets one thinking wheteher they have been lowered into all this false belifs because it is it what every one is doing.

Ghosts

In the Joy Luck Club meaning of the ghost is ignore and forgotten. Story didn’t mention a lot about real meaning of ghost. So some of people may say it is kind of described. However, I think this is more complex image than what people think. I believe this is very sad thing in Asia countries. because in Asia we are respect people even if we don’t know them. If someone forgotten in the family member, this is saddest thing. Furthermore it shows strict culture style. Even I have same opinion. I can’t accept this kind of mother. I’m not saying every Asian doing like that. However, Most of people may have same idea like this in Asia. Some of other countries culture can accept this kind of happening. .but I am more familiar the Joy Luck Club story.

Ying-Ying "Betty" St. Clair

Ying-Ying "Betty" St. Clair was born into a wealty family. Betty was born into a conservative family she was taught to be gentle. Born in the year of a tiger. She keeps her feelings bottled in. She is very passive and accepts whatever wrong comes her way.
Her weakness would have to be being passive. She marries a man not out of love but because she belives it is her fate and it is what is in store for her. She does not expect a lot for herself and takes whatever chance she gets. Even though she gets a second chance at life she does not expect much out of it. She finally finds a break out of her un successful life style when an American man comes to court her but she is reluctant about it and is still controlled.

Joy Luck Club

Yes they are definetly connected in my point of view, even though they are different stories from different people and different morals the all come together eventually. In this stories there is a lot of tragedy and suffering. The parents or more specifically the mothers or the women in this stories, have left behind a rich and modest culture that was fit to fend for themselves. They have left behind friends and family in the hope of achieving this American dream that everyone whispers and talks about. There is also a lot of tragedy and a sense of lose in the stories of these women. They all have this feeling of respect and want to sort of keep a piece of where they come from which would be china in this case and they want to pass this practices or things that they have done with their parents in the past down to their children. Even though the women go through really tough and stressful things in their lives, I noticed that they were all strong and most of then really did not panic, they took it all in and did not give up they took whatever curve ball life threw at them and they hit it out of the park. There courage to take everything head on was great and that is exactly what they needed to succeed in the united states.
