Mary Engelbreit once said, “If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it; change the way you think about it.” This quote is a strong connection with Sal, when she grew up she had tons of external forces that caused her to think about things in a different way than before.

Australian theatre practitioners use various performance styles, techniques and dramatic conventions to help portray their ideas to their audiences and make them feel a particular way to the ideas presented in a play. Without the use of these styles, techniques and conventions it wouldn’t be possible for the practitioners to emphasise their ideas.

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.

To be lost is to lose all hope. To lose all your aspirations. To surrender all your dreams. Just because your lost, it doesn’t mean that you will not be found. In Amy Tan’s “The Moon Lady,” Ying- Ying, the main protagonist, fights with herself and with her culture. Ying-ying is longing to be found — to be reunited with her family — and with herself. At a youthful age, Ying-ying’s childish belief in personal fate and destiny later on led to a rule of passivity and listlessness. Ying-ying realizes that she has passed on to her daughter the same indifference and passivity that she has experienced growing up. Just like a broken bond, Ying-ying tries to sew her life back together, but she uses her past pains to tear it again. Tan argues that just because the strands of your life are torn, it doesn’t mean that you can’t sew your life together again.
