Consider Waverly “Meimei” Jong’s actions and their consequences in the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan. Which theme is supported best by her actions?
A) Like chess, power is gained through strategy, not emotion.
B) Overt strength is more powerful than “invisible strength.”
C) Silence is a weapon that should never be wielded.
D) It’s impossible for parents to win a battle of wills against their children.
Answer:
The correct answer is A)
Explanation:
"Meimei" Jong's actions were very emotional and caused her to fall out with her mom.
She had made a mistake by mouthing thoughts she had not properly thought out and then ran off. She had nowhere else to go but home. Unfortunately for her, her mom was also a "chess champion" albeit an ardent player in real life scenarios. For when "Meimei" eventually enters the house, her mother announces to her brothers to let her be. Dinner was already served and eaten by everyother person with none reserved for her. Her mother taught her that night that she might be a champion at chess strategy but that when it came to it's applicability in life, she had a lot to learn.
Cheers!

It makes the story to be filled with suspense.
Explanation:
From the <em>Beowulf </em>story, the evil monster Grendel holds Denmark hostage because it has been attacking the towns within and destroying things, and none of the weapons the warriors have is able to do any damage to it.
Grendel attacks mead-hall Herot at night because he is totally evil and he hates to hear the happy laughter of men in the hall. He attacks them at night, kills many, leaves, and comes back another night to continue his torment.
