Read the excerpt below from the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan and answer the question that follows. “Bite back your

tongue,” scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, “Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind—poom!—North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen.” The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies. When my mother finished her shopping, she quietly plucked a small bag of plums from the rack and put it on the counter with the rest of the items. When the narrator bites back her tongue, what two forces are struggling? Meimei vs. self Lindo vs. Meimei Lindo vs. self Lindo vs. Lau Po

It seems to me that the two forces struggling when the narrator bites back her tongue are Meimei vs. self. This meaning, the narrator is battling herself, her Meimei self. Her family called her that way because she was the youngest sister.  It seems to me that is a battle against her childhood, her attempt to be or, at least, act as a grown up. Her mother is telling she to restrain her childish whim.

What does wumbo mean ?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Wumbo is the antonym of Mini, so it means abnormally large, or huge. Fun fact, there is a science now called "Wumbology" that studies anything that is large in nature, or anything that tends to be large. Sadly, it ended in 2003, where the chief scientist, Professor Alexander James Hurteau decided to shut it down.

Mkey [24]

In this passage, Nick reflects on what the landscape must have looked like when the Dutch explorers arrived to the continent. He is looking at Gatsby's house, and at this point in the novel, we know that Nick believes that New York, as well as the people he has met, are vile, corrupt and greedy. He contrasts this view with that of the pristine continent on the arrival of the European settlers.

The phrase "fresh, green breast of the New World" presents a view that is "fresh." The land is new, but it is also fresh in the sense that it is not rotten. The land has not yet been "infected" with the corruption of modern times. Therefore, the phrase is intended to represent a time before America had become a land of greed and vice.

<span>false cause

When a speaker or writer tries to  connect two things that don't directly  have an effect on each other as having an effect on each other, it is false cause. Saying that one thing directly causes another when there is no proof or factual evidence to back that up weakens an argument significantly. </span>
