The Transformative Essay: The Board Game Of Chess

In the story “Rules of the Game” written by Amy Tan, the game of chess symbolizes life lessons. When Waverly questions the rules of the chess game and why she can’t move the Pawn in another direction, her mother answers her by saying, “This is American rules… Everytime people come out from foreign country, must know rules.

Some may be motivated to take action after experiencing a life threatening illness, while others are proactive and change their health behavior to decrease the risks of developing a potential disease. However, even if the reasons for the change are valid and well understood, there is a great possibility that one will not follow set goals long term. Stacy Carter, an assistant of professor and an author of the Social Validity Manual, expresses her opinion about people implementing a scientifically proven health behavior change treatment in their routine, “if it's something that is going to cause them a lot of effort, or is difficult to implement, then they probably are not going to use it for long” (Cranford, 2011).
