"Rules of the Game"

I enjoyed this story alot more than the previous one. It actually had a point. Everyone enjoys a success story. Amy Tan uses Meimei as a wonderful inspiration. She tells her story from beginning to end. From the Christmas where her brother received the chess set, to her many trophies and achievements. Although her mother beats her at her own game, it does not wither Meimei's success. Speaking of MeiMei's mother, she annoyed me. She kept on putting down the "American way," yet she lived her and decided to raise her children here. This is why I get annoyed with immigrants or people who are not native to this country. Of course it is going to be harder for them to learn the language and be accepted, but they should of been aware of this before deciding to start a life here. You picked this country, so you're just going to have to deal with everything and everyone that comes with it. Why should the natives have to adapt to people who are foreign. Did they not come to America to get away from their own culture? Why are they trying to make it more like their own then? I just think people complain too much.
