My Outside Reading Book

My outside reading book is The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan and so far I am really enjoying it. My favorite part so far is Lindo Jong: The Red Candle when she is just about to get married and just takes a minute to look at herself in the mirror. She reminds herself of who she is and that she must not disgrace her family's name. The setting in this book takes place in San Francisco and China. In this particular book the settings make the characters because its like they have two homes with two families. Another book that I have read with a similar setting is Mao's Last Dancer which also takes place in different parts of China. At this point I think for my creative project I am going to focus on the setting and family because in this book those are very important.
