Answer:

5. My guess is that Waverly's walk home is a mix of both comfort and being lost or hopeless. This makes her feel at home because she used to play and hang out with her brothers in these alleys, and she knows them well. Then, at the same time, she felt like she had lost her childhood because she did not play with her friends in the alleys anymore and just practiced chess all the time.

Because she knows that she cannot leave because she is still a child, she is hopeless. She has nowhere else to go but home. As she walks home, she can see "the yellow lights shining from our flat like two tiger's eyes in the night." It feels like her mother's eyes are watching her "While she practices, Mom hovers over her and makes loud breathy noises."

6. Their personal and cultural differences make it necessary for Waverly to see her mother on the other side of the chess board because they have 2 hugely different opinions about everything. Waverly sees herself as more of an American than an immigrant, and on the other side, her mother feels like a struggling immigrant who was never given a hand to help her get up in this hard American life. Also, Waverly just wants to feel a strong connection with her mother, while her mother believes that she needs to show tough love to mold kids who will be strong and survive in such a hard world as her mother would say.

Those are, in fact, the main reasons for the differences. In addition, Waverly wants her mother to give her praise and make her feel good. That it is not just "pure luck." She worked hard to get it. She works out every day. A thing that her mother does not understand because she was raised the same way as Waverly. She thinks that if she is mean to Waverly, she will grow up to be mean, which is not true.

How do dogs help with your mental health
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

While people with pets often experience the greatest health benefits, a pet doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog or a cat. Even watching fish in an aquarium can help reduce muscle tension and lower pulse rate.

Studies have shown that:

Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.

People with pets have lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those without pets. One study even found that when people with borderline hypertension adopted dogs from a shelter, their blood pressure declined significantly within five months.

Playing with a dog or cat can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.

Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels (indicators of heart disease) than those without pets.

Heart attack patients with pets survive longer than those without.

Pet owners over age 65 make 30 percent fewer visits to their doctors than those without pets.

I think the one that learn the least is : The narrator's aunt. She kept making unreasonable accusation throughout the story. One of it was that she believed that the burglar has been coming to her house every night for the last 40 years. i might say that the one that learn the most would be the narrator himself.

Hope this helps
