Short Story Rules Of The Game By Amy Tan Essay

“Rules of The Game” “I was six when my mom taught me the art of invisible strengths.” As Waverly says in the first sentence of the short story “Rules of The Game” by Amy Tan. Waverly, her mom, and her two brothers go through a hard, but important life lesson. The lesson taught them something important that no matter what, love will always be there.Waverly particularly meets her mother's expectations by herself to be more mature, more respectful, and a child or young adult with discipline. As Waverly starts to learn how to play chess she grows mentally by maturing. As Waverly says “ I found out about all the whys later. I read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary.” She shows that she can figure stuff out by herself.
