In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how your protagonist changes from the beginning of the story to the end in your Module One short story? Provide at least two specific details from the text to show how the protagonist changes from the beginning of the story to the end. The short story for module one is "rules of the gamy" by Amy Tan

Waverly Place Jong was a poor Chinese girl

She could see life is wonderful through little things

She did not play with her toys anymore

She was interested in playing chess

She participated in different tournament

Specific detail one

Having watched the older children opening their gifts, I already knew that the big gifts were not necessarily the  nicest ones. One girl my age got a large coloring book of biblical characters, while a less greedy girl who selected  a smaller box received a glass vial of lavender toilet water.

Specific detail two

I found out about all the whys later. I read the rules and looked up all the big words in a dictionary. I borrowed  books from the Chinatown library. I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained.  I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance  between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two  adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting  out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all  possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and are  obscured to a tiring opponent. I discovered that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the  endgame before the game begins.

Explanation:

The two sentences choosen up there explain different changes that the girl had in the story and all those extract from the text help me to support both sentences

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
