In the story of "The Rice Husband- Lena St. Clair" , Amy Tan describes the mother and daughter realtionship as a deep bond because they both have this strange ability to sense when something is wrong or know in advance before something actually happens. While reading this, i thought about how i have sometimes heard mothers say they have a sixth sense. I believe this is true and mothers know what is wrong and right for you.

Specifically, there is a part in the story in which Lena is eight years old and her mother looks at her bowl of rice and tells her that she will have marry a bad man. Although my mother has never told me something like this, we have talked about when i get older and how she expects him, or imagines him to be. I think this is how every mom is with their daughter- they have certain expectations and hopes for their child.
