In the short story "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan, a main theme is that staying quiet and holding back can help you to achieve goals, shown when Waverly's mother awards her, when she wins a chess game, and when Waverly accidentally blurts out something she regrets saying. At the beginning of the story when Waverly is a young girl, her mother drills a life lesson into her. She tells Waverly to “ ‘Bite back your tongue,’ scolded my mother when I cried loudly (...) ‘Wise guy, he not go against wind…

some conflicts that go along with it. They suffer from cultural differences, like how Waverly is Americanized and doesn’t want to pitch in to Chinese cultures. They suffer from pride and confidence.

To overcome obstacles, Martha…

there are absolutely no boundaries for what is considered art and it can be very inspiring. During my visit at the Morse museum I saw many interesting pieces but a handful of them really caught my attention and stood out.

I learned from the other rooms, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t have a general idea of. In the “hate room,” I saw how racial stereotyping influenced advertising. The first thing that caught my eye was the black cast iron banks. I always saw pictures of how we were depicted in the eyes of the media early on, but I never saw an actual prop. They…

all the people he wanted to take revenge upon and so he created the tempest. The Tempest was a storm that brought all the nobles on the ship ashore. After this nothing was ever the same, he used all the people that were loyal to him as just another piece of a game. In The Tempest by Shakespeare Ariel, Ferdinand, and Miranda shows how loyalty can oppress devoted followers into becoming a pawn in someone else’s game.…

In a different theory, people think that ROVs are useless, and that humans can do the same work that the ROVs can. However, ROVs are ABSOLUTELY valuable to underwater research because they can get to places that humans cannot reach, they can get pieces of information that we can’t see or grab because it is small or heavy, and they can reach dangerous places. First off, I think that ROVs are definitely useful for underwater research. They can get into small places a human can’t, like a small…
