Answer: A. An interesting line or idea at the beginning of the story.
Answer:
The theme, or main idea, of this excerpt from Tan's novel The Joy Luck Club is that parents and children have difficulties understanding one another. Parents want the best for their kids and sometimes parents push their children in ways that the children resent.
Explanation:
There's really not a right way to answer this question. Honestly, you know that you have to take personal responsibility because you'll notice it. You'll notice that "Hey. You know.

Tone is elevated in the opening words - the organization of the words 'We hold these truths to be self-evident' sounds nobler than saying 'We believe this'. The parallelism of stating each right in a dependent clause beginning with that adds power and rhythm to the ideas.
