The desire to gain "invisible strength"
Amy Tan opens the story saying, "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy
for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it
at the time, chess games." She talks about how gaining this "invisible strength" is one of the benefits of her chess playing. This isn't just mentioned in the first paragraph, but is shown again when she says, " I discovered
that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before
the game begins." She likes that chess has all these secrets that must never be told, and prides herself on learning these as she continues to get better.
C. It has been said that there are other ways to solve the problem.

Tolkien's theory about poor reflections matches with what the Bible teaches about sin and our fallen world. Tolkien states that since humans are inherently sinful, we tend to reflect God poorly.
According to James 3:2, <em>"For we all stumble in many ways, and if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body"</em>. Due to our sinful nature, humans are not perfect, whereas God is.
According to Joshua 1:9, <em>"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"</em>. Everyone knows Christians should always be tough and courageous, but the sinfulness of the world constantly puts this to the test and may sometimes lead us wrong when we most require God.
