“Rules of The Game” is a short story by Amy Tan, written about a Chinese girl named Waverly Place Jong. Her brother’s get a chess set for Christmas and she would have to bribe them to let her play with them and little did they know, she would turn out to be a chess prodigy. Throughout the story she faces many obstacles including her mom’s constant boasting about her and how good she is at chess, and this really angers Waverly because she felt like her mom was trying to control her life and live through her. Amy Tan, in her short story warns that parents should never try to live through their children because it never has a good outcome.

Amy Tan is a Chinese-American novelist who was born in Oakland, California on February 19th, 1952. Amy currently lives in Chinatown in San Francisco which is also where her story takes place. She is most famous for her story “The Joy Luck Club” which was adapted into a movie and is about the relationship between Chinese women and their Chinese-American daughters.

Her living in San Francisco’s Chinatown plays a major role of her theme of the story. Throughout this story we find out that Waverly and her mom don’t have the strongest bond, and in real life Amy and her mom don’t either so that helps her with her story. After Waverly runs away and then comes home for dinner her brother tries talking to her about what happened and her mom says ‘We not concerning this girl. This girl not have concerning for us,”(Tan, pg.5) her mom is telling her brother not to worry about Waverly because she doesn’t worry about them because if she did she wouldn’t of ran away like that.

Amy Tan’s stories are based off of the realism era. Throughout her story she shows the realism of mother daughter relationship and how they are never perfect and that its okay to have conflict. She also wrote her story during a postmodern time and this really helps us understand the meaning because it’s more relatable. She also writes about things that occur in today’s society like conflict between mother/daughter relationships.

Waverly is tired of her moms boasting, so she tells her ‘I wish you wouldn’t do that, telling everybody I’m your daughter.'(Tan, pg.5), even though her mom was just being proud of Waverly, she turned it into something that’s embarrassing and in today’s society a lot of people do that to.

Amy Tan, in the story “Rules of The Game”, is trying to teach us that parents should never try and live through their children because it doesn’t have a outcome that anyone will like. This theme is really relevant today because anyone can see it happen anywhere and everywhere. For example, parents will push their children to work very hard at school and make good grades, because they weren’t capable themselves to do so.

In this story Waverly gets into an argument with her mom, and she says, “Why do you have to use me to show off? If you want to show off, then why don’t you learn to play chess?'(Tan, pg.5), when Waverly says this she telling her mom to stop trying to through her and to stay in her own lane. This idea will be one that will never go away because it’s been happening for centuries and will continue to happen.

In conclusions, people should never live through another person, because it won’t turn out the way they would hope to. In the story “Rules of The Game”, Amy Tan shows us the importance of a mother/daughter relationship, and people should value it. Also how nobody should ever be embarrassed by someone who is proud of them.

Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. What is the tone of the opening passage?

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty- seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.

In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name "Mr. James Dillingham Young. "

The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called "Jim" and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good.

A.
dissatisfied
B.
humorous
C.

Twain writes "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" as a story within a story.
What is the effect of this technique?

The events in the outer story shape what happens in the inner story.

The outer story explains how a stranger tricks Jim Smiley, while the inner story explains how the narrator's friend plots with
Wheeler to play a joke on the narrator.

Readers understand how the characters in the outer and inner stories resolve the main conflict differently.

The outer story describes what happens between the narrator and Simon Wheeler, while the inner story relates Wheeler's
tale about Jim Smiley and the jumping frog.
