This irrational rational high-satisfactory is provided via way of means of Amy Tan via her example of the language limitations and her use of oral storytelling tradition, in a shape of a frame (whole) narrative that contains person interrelated narratives. Therefore, this paper targets to technique this trouble and cope with the idea of the Superstition, its use and alertness in 3 decided on novels via way of means of Amy Tan: The Joy Luck Club (1989), The Hundred Secret Senses (1995), and The Bonesetter’s Daughter (2001). Tan masterfully makes use of diverse bureaucracy and manifestations of the superstition.
