Answer:

Explanation:

I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me.

I continued to shoplift, but I had no choice; I had to.

I shove the pain medicine in my pocket and look around. I shouldn't brag but I've never been caught. Don't think I'm a bad guy though, cause I'm really not. Ever since Dad lost his job we have barely enough money for bills, food and everything else is just something that doesn't fit the budget.

sukhopar [10]

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.
