Answer:
They use the strategies for playing chess and for interacting with others.
Explanation:
Rules of the Game is a story by Amy Tan where Waverly's mother teaches her how to achieve more more by using the invisible strenght.
Invisible strength means quietly working towards a goal.
Waverly applies this to chess. She learns not to brag about her success or fret about losses.
For example a mentor she was learning chess from taught her that she should learn from her mistakes instead of being a sore loser.
Other rules are to never announce check with vanity lest someone with an unseen sword slit your throat, and to never throw pieces into the sandbox after losing a game.
1.Buck is our protagonist in the story. London comes as close to seeing life through a dog's eyes as London could get. So, the conflicts all surround Buck. The instigator for the conflict comes when Buck is kidnapped or rather dognapped from his cushy life in California. The rest of the conflicts surround his many adventures on his way to inner doggy nirvana! Any human point of view would have ruined the flow and intent of the novel.
2.
In Chapter IX of James Michener's historical novel, Alaska, gold is discovered in Nome and two of the characters based upon real people, move to this territory in hopes of making their fortunes. Once there, they encounter gold mine thieving, dangerous conditions, and dangerous men. In the setting of this novel and London's novella, Alaska is a raw, naturalistic, formidable land that is unforgiving of any weakness.
This portrayal is, indeed, realistic. With so many men journeying to Alaska in hopes of making a fortune, there would be a high demand for sled dogs. Such a magnificent specimen as the one-hundred-and-forty pound Buck. And, that he would easily revert to his more atavistic nature is also realistic as feral dogs quickly develop shorter, thicker coats and run in packs like their ancestors did.
As Buck and another large dog, a Newfoundland are put upon a ship bound for Alaska, Buck realizes that his captors
...are a new kind of men...and while he developed no affection for them, he nonetheless grew honestly to respect them.
Once in Alaska, Buck further discovers that men and dogs are both little more than savages in this raw land, with no law but the law of force ruling their lives.
