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!

Why would a writer leave an assumption tacit or implicit?
REY [17]

Answer:

A writer leaves an assumption tacit or implicit.

Explanation:

The writer could leave an assumption tacit or implicit. The reason might lie down in the writer's intention to give space to readers to figure out why the assumption of this specific is implicit.

The writer might want readers to read more carefully and discover why some characters or why some actions are happening. Also, some assumption is a trigger for some actions or motivation for characters.

If a writer doesn't write a novel or fictional book, the assumption might be a sign for readers to figure out or conclude some experiments or natural law or biological order in nature. The assumption makes the reader thinks about it and tries to find a solution for it.

Hey, ya' know, if that uh' story of yours doesn't go over with the guy, tell him I got a couple a' projects he might be interest
Alla [95]

Hello. Although You have submitted a text, You have not submitted any questions about it, which prevents me from giving you any answers. However, I will tell you what this text means and I hope it will help you.

This text is an excerpt from "True West" written by Sam Shepard, where we read about the dispute between two brothers. Those brothers are Lee and Austin and they're competing over who can write the best Western theater play.

In the excerpt shown above, Lee is claiming that he can write about the real western, escaping the stereotyped myth that western theater plays present. That's because Lee has lived in the Wild West and knows what he was really like, so he believes he can write a much better play, real and full of success.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Hi, I just did an assignment off of this story as well.

Explanation:

2. Answer ~ Tessie's attitude was of disbelief, she complained about how Bill winning the jackpot was not fair, and how Mr. Summers didn't give Bill a chance to pick the piece of paper slip he wanted.

It then changes when Mr. Summers then takes Bill's paper, puts it back into the box and has their children pick a paper slip in each box. Since they all had start over with their family, the kids opened their slip first, it was blank. Bill opened his, and it was blank as well. Tessie opened hers, turns out Tessie received a black dot on her paper slip, meaning she was then chosen.
