Read this excerpt from “Rules of the Game.”
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.

“Bite back your tongue,” scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the story that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, “Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind – poom! – North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen.”
Mrs. Jong advises her daughter not to confront others openly, but to seem to go along with them while subtly leading them in the direction she prefers. What would Mami in “Daughter of Invention” think of that advice? (2pts.)


Read the following excerpt from “Rules of the Game.”
“One of the Chinese parishioners had donned a Santa Claus costume and a stiff paper beard with cotton balls glued to it. I think the only children who thought he was the real thing were too young to know that Santa Claus was not Chinese.”
The spread of Western culture around the world has introduced Santa Claus to many different cultures. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

A good title has what is sometimes called resonance. That means that the title resounds or echoes with meanings. Review passages in the story where rules of various sorts are talked about. What multiple meanings might the title of this story have? How do you feel about Tan’s choice of title? (2pts.)

The thing which Mami, Cukita's mother from “Daughter of Invention” would think of that advice is that she would be displeased as she is hot-tempered and confronts people openly.

The spread of Western culture which has introduced Santa Claus to the world can be viewed as a positive development because it helps with cultural diffusion and would help with the understanding of the culture of others.

No, I do not think that Amy Tan would approve of this cultural homogenization because she wants to preserve her culture and protect it from external influences.

The way in which the Jongs got their first chess set was at the Christmas party held at First Chinese Baptist Church.

Mrs Jong told them she does not want the game when they get home..

Some of the ways in which Waverly's mother shows that she is ambitious is by teaching her daughter the art of invisible strength so she can win the chess competition.

The conflict which arose as a result of their success of Waverly was the fact that her mother was overbearing, making Waverly lose some of her love for chess.

The meaning of the fantasy that Waverly has at end of the story is that she imagines playing her mother in chess. Her next move would be to quit playing chess for some time.

The choice of the title of the story is apt because it shows that there are rules by which a person that wants to be successful at chess must have to abide by, even though some of the "rules" were overbearing

She is a fictional character from the book Rules of the Game as she was a culturally inclined woman who tried to teach her daughter about avoiding open confrontations.

Claudius: ’Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
To give these mourning duties to your father:
But, you must know, your father lost a father;
That father lost, lost his; and the survivor bound
In filial obligation for some term
To do obsequious sorrow; but to presever
In obstinate condolement is a course
Of impious stubbornness, ’tis unmanly grief

Theo's older brother, Antonio, was learning carpentry, and over the past few months, he had transformed the shed into his carpentry workshop. Theo always looked up to Antonio and tried to be like him. He was fascinated by all the wonderful objects Antonio had carved from wood, and longed to try his hand at carpentry too. But every time he asked Antonio if he could operate one of his cool carpentry tools, Antonio's response was always the same.
"You're too young to use these tools, Theo. They might look fun to use, but trust me, they are not easy to operate."
That day, Antonio was building an intricate model of a house. He had been working on it for weeks, and the model was nearly complete. Suddenly, Antonio realized that he needed to run to the store to buy more nails. As soon as he left, Theo approached Antonio's work area and began to look around with glee. When his eyes fell on the power drill, which was still connected to the power socket, he smiled mischievously. He picked it up and switched it on, aiming it at a piece of wood lying on the table. But the drill was heavier than he imagined, and he could not hold on to it as it vibrated powerfully in his hand. Panicking, Theo dropped the drill and in his haste, he tripped over the wire on the floor. Losing balance, he went crashing into the table, knocking over Antonio's model house as he went down. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces. As Theo stared in shock at the mess he had created, Antonio came back into the shed. Theo immediately began to apologize.
"I too was curious and brash when I was your age, little brother. But experience has taught me to be more careful and responsible. When you're older, I'll teach you to operate these tools," Antonio said. Theo apologized again and helped his brother clean up the mess.
