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!

One of the many persuasive messages of President Mandela's speech :
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it . The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” He then continued " if you’re afraid; it’s normal, you’re still a brave person. What you need to do next is to conquer that fear by taking action." He attempt to convince people by his technique of persuasion. By anticipating an audience’s questions, He confront the question in their mind. And he answer their question. This connects with people because it builds trust, people see that He understand their view, and makes new space in their mind for his message.
