'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother' book review
Tiger Mother-final lesson
den 30 november 2011
Battle hymn of the tiger mother is a decent book that I enjoyed reading but I would not read it again because nothing special happens in it, the whole story is about how Amy raised her two daughters and her battle with them, but still, it is really important to know about other cultures and their way of raising children, so what I think is that the book is more about debating and hearing different points of views. For example many western parents are against Amy`s way of raising her children and they hate how she underestimates western parents ` efforts to raise their children. Through the whole story, we find how Amy thinks that the western way of raising children is wrong and how they spoil their children and all that is going to negatively affect the western society. To make it clear, I liked how Amy raised her children but I do not really like the way she brags about it. Many parts of her book were about how people think about her, and how they think that her two daughters are great and talented, and thanks for Amy because she is the “perfect” mother that she knew how to raise them. I did not like how Amy made her husband passive in the story, so it is like knowing the story from one direction, the story could have been better if we knew how Jed thinks, if he is glad about what Amy is doing or not.
