Prodigy hosted a “Money Talk” bulletin board open for user comment, and on that board, a user alleged that Stratton Oakmont, Inc. and its president had committed criminal and fraudulent acts. The company and its president then sued Prodigy for defamation, contending that Prodigy was a “publisher” and therefore liable. The plaintiff argued that this case was different than Cubby v.

Woo and Jong both of their mother are pushing them to be a child prodigy. Billy and Mike both had a choice if they wanted to play football or not. Jing-Mei Woo’s culture is different from her mother’s culture because the way her mother was raised is different from the modernized American way that Jing-Mei Woo was raised

Near the end of “Rules of the Game” Waverly begins to argue with her where Waverly questions her “If you want to show off, then why don’t you learn to play chess.” At this moment Waverly knows she has taken it too far and impulsively runs away.

You play, worth squeeze towel.” (97) From this text, Waverly Jong’s attention has

Chinese American girls that have a hard time with their mothers and struggle with a clash of culture. Also both of their mother’s sacrifice for them to make sure they have a better future for their daughter.

This is shown through Jing-Mei’s struggle with her mom about her desire and push to make Jing a prodigy. When Jing-Mei was a child,

Suyuan Woo and her daughter Jing Mei Woo’s point of views regarding children being prodigies differs, and as a result they experience miscommunication and conflict. The view of Suyuan is that in America you can be anything you want, “‘ Of course you can be prodigy, too’” (Tan 132).

The first line “I loved the word endgame,” is close to the top and at that point in the poem the reader is only thinking chess, but in chess one does not say “endgame” they say “check-mate”.
