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!

Answer:

I don't know what came over me. After weeks of seeing her be put on a pedestal for the most mundane of tasks, and knowing I was pushed off to the side, a form of jealousy ran over me. Through my veins and soul, like a forest-fire that wiped out anything and everything. I was both the fire, and the forest in that moment. There was no blood-shed, just a bit of yelling. I'd change it if I could, I'd change everything if I had that power.

 

If I were to give my past self a bit of advice, know that it's not her fault. It's nobody's fault, but with actions come consequences. Throughout this little writing assignment, I've come to the realization that sometimes things happen. Sometimes your rose-colored glasses over your own judgement shatter all along the floor in tiny shards.

Who's to blame? It depends what you mean. For my own emotions? Nobody, absolutely nobody is to blame for that. For what happened? Myself. That's okay, though. The fire in my soul has died down into ash and dust, and the forest-fire is long-gone.

If I was in that nail salon and saw a person stealing someone else’s engagement ring, I will immediately stop the pickpocket. After making sure that the thief has not possess any dangerous weapon, I will slowly approach and ask him the reason for doing it. Meanwhile, I will signal the bystanders to seek help from police. I then give him advice and tell him the consequences of stealing. It is because everyone has no right to go shortcut in life. We need to pay our effort for the result. Next, I will ask him to apologize to the owner and motivate him to be an honest man.
