    A year ago, I bought a small, blue notebook for a dollar at target. It holds 82 pages, each about the size of my palm. Their paper is made from the same thin, gray material used in newspapers. On the cover of the book is a picture from the children’s story Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). In the image, the main character in the tale, a small man dressed entirely in yellow, laughs as he sails a hot air balloon across a cotton ball cloud sky. I’ve inscribed the places I hope to one day travel inside the notebook. Some, like Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni salt flats and the city of Bagan in Myanmar sound foreign to my ears. Other pages are occupied by more local attractions. They list places like Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and the statue of liberty in New York. Although I can only dream of traveling across the globe, in the Martin Handford book series, Where’s Waldo?, the protagonist of the tales, Waldo, easily gallivants across time and space. If I possessed Waldo’s peripatetic powers, even for just one day, I would not waste the…

    Two kinds, one of the short stories in The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, first published in 1989, vividly displays a bittersweet relationship between Jing-mei, the narrator and protagonist, and her mother Mrs. Woo, and explores conflicts between a Chinese mother and her disobedient Americanized daughter. The story happened in the Chinatown in San Francisco throughout the 1950s and maybe the early 1960s. It begins with Jing-mei and her mother’s moving to America in 1949. Encouraged by the American Dream and the conventional Chinese parents’ values, Jing-mei’s mother imposed great hopes on her and expects her to become a child prodigy.
