Rules of the Game

The concept that I got from the story was that no matter how good you are at something it is difficult to succeed if you have no one on your side to cheer you on. Although I do not think it was write for Meimei to run away like she did, I did not like the mother. She acted like she knew more about the game of chess and that she was the reason Meimei was winning all these matches. Her mother did experience life more than Meimei but I feel like there were somethings she did not understand coming into America. I did not like how she acted like she was better than Americans. Like the only way to do something right is by doing it the Chinese way. I know that I would adjust to the place I am living in unlike her, who was just pushing away the American ways and thinking all she would ever be is Chinese. But she lives in America now and should respect how we do things even if they are different from the way she does things.
