In the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan, what motivates the narrator to excel at chess?
Firdavs [7]

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.

"Where water is not thirsty" - Biblical reference to which she is lacking nourishment spiritually.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Similes:</h3>

"Their wives run round like banshees" - Related to Irish folklore, the wives souls are dying because money can't buy happiness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Alliteration:</h3>

Definition - Repetitive or identical consonant sounds.

"Nobody, but nobody" - The "n" (consonant), gives emphasis on how negative and empty the word is.

"Now if you listen closely" - The "s" (consonant), is repeated.

"Where water is not thirsty" - The "w" (consonant), is repeated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Assonance:</h3>

<h3>Metonymy:</h3>

"How to find my soul a home" - The home the author is referring to is not a physical place but a spiritual place. In other words, the speaker wants to be part of a group that is connected spiritually and religiously. The speaker wants to find her soul some peace and the solidarity human beings receive is the kind of home she is looking for (a world that comes together peacefully).
