Explanation:
Amy Tan looks at an initial point in the development of a Chinese American lady called Waverly Jong on her connection to her Chinese immigrant family in "Laws of the Sport" (Rules of the Game), in the 1989 book The Joy Luck Club. Tan portrays events within chronological patterns but, to generate tension and make sense of the plot, she alters the pace of the action. "Rules of the Game" starts with just an exhibition; 6 Waverly is now on her mother's routine shopping trip. It depicts the family, home, the atmosphere of Waverly. That information is rich and quick to grasp Waverly's mother figure and her existence in Los Angeles Chinatown as just an American Chinese kid. Tan now slows down his narrative, to focus on Waverly's existence object: the chess set of her brother. The writer recounts just how the chess set entered the life of Waverly: It was an offering of his church at Christmas.
Answer:
Explanation:
The author uses flash-forwards and dream sequences in the story to portray the main characters' thoughts and feelings on the main conflict or climax. For example, the author uses this dream sequence while describing the main character's dreams after being offered the cans of condensed milk; "I fell asleep and in my ragged hungry dreams saw Shestakov’s can of condensed milk, a monstrous can with a sky-blue label. Enormous and blue as the night sky, the can had a thousand holes punched in it, and the milk seeped out and flowed in a stream as broad as the Milky Way. My hands easily reached the sky and greedily I drank the thick, sweet, starry milk." This shows us just how much the main character longs for something as simple as a can of condensed milk, telling us how hungry he is and how poor the conditions of this prison were.
Another example of the plot techniques used would be this flash-forward when the main character is describing one of the prisoners in the story after seeing him 6 months later; "He was taken away, and I met him again at a different mine six months later. He wasn’t given any extra sentence for the escape attempt; the authorities played the game honestly with him even though they could have acted quite differently. He was working in the prospecting group, was shaved and’ well fed, and his checkered socks were in one piece." This flash-forward gives us a bit of context on how this prisoner that tried to escape was not punished and appeared healthy and well-fed. This tells us he must have been working with the people in charge of the prison.
