Hello! I have found the names of the reformers and the options for the contributions from another source but I will just go over them one reformer at a time to avoid repetition!
Elizabeth I Contribution: offered tolerance to Catholics as long as they showed loyalty to the English monarch
After the Religious Settlement of 1559 that crowned Queen Elizabeth I the Supreme Head of the Church, she faced pressure from the many Protestant refugees who wished for the queen to go against the Catholics which drove them away before her reign. However, she adopted a more careful approach and that is to tolerate all Catholics as long as they will just remain loyal to the monarchy.
John Wycliffe Contribution: translated religious scripture into a language common people could understand
A professor at Oxford, Wycliffe believed that the current teachings of the Catholic Church go against what was stated in the Bible. Because of this, he decided to translate the manuscripts to English. The Bible was only available in Latin by then (a language not known by the common folks). He was then credited as the first producer of the hand-written English Bibles.
Martin Luther Contribution: questioned the rightful extent of the pope’s religious authority
Martin Luther was the author of the very infamous "95 Theses" which mainly attacked the Catholic Church and its corruption particularly with the indulgences they are selling. He also believed that the main authority should go to the Bible. His work sparked the Protestant Reformation.
This question is regarding "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan. From the passages about "invisible strength" and Waverly's mother stating that the "strongest wind cannot be seen we can infer that Waverly's mother values strength that can be found in restraint and silence. This can be seen when Waverly cries for candy at the candy store and her mother tells her to "bite her tongue". That time she doesn't get the candy, but the next time they go to the candy store Waverly stays quiet and receives candy. This is the mother's way of rewarding her for staying silent.
