Read the excerpt below from the short story “rules of the game” by amy tan and answer the question that follows. a man who watched me play in the park suggested that my mother allow me to play in local chess tournaments. my mother smiled graciously, an answer that meant nothing. i desperately wanted to go, but i bit back my tongue. i knew she would not let me play among strangers. so as we walked home i said in a small voice that i didn’t want to play in the local tournament. they would have american rules. if i lost, i would bring shame on my family. “is shame you fall down nobody push you,” said my mother. compare and contrast the narrator’s motivations with her mother’s.

The narrator's motivations are the man who suggested that she play in local chess tournaments and herself.

Her mom's motivations are her not wanting to play among strangers and her not wanting her daughter to bring shame on their family is she lost.

Explanation:

The narrator was motivated by what she liked to do and what other's thought about her playing chess. She was confident in herself.

Her mother didn't think she would be able to win, and she was afraid of what others would think about them. Her daughter loosing would mean shame on her family.

Hope this helps!

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.
