Explanation:

Amy Tan looks at an initial point in the development of a Chinese American lady called Waverly Jong on her connection to her Chinese immigrant family in "Laws of the Sport" (Rules of the Game), in the 1989 book The Joy Luck Club. Tan portrays events within chronological patterns but, to generate tension and make sense of the plot, she alters the pace of the action. "Rules of the Game" starts with just an exhibition; 6 Waverly is now on her mother's routine shopping trip. It depicts the family, home, the atmosphere of Waverly. That information is rich and quick to grasp Waverly's mother figure and her existence in Los Angeles Chinatown as just an American Chinese kid. Tan now slows down his narrative, to focus on Waverly's existence object: the chess set of her brother. The writer recounts just how the chess set entered the life of Waverly: It was an offering of his church at Christmas.
