Answer 2

Both stories use the flashback technique to narrate events. In Amy Tan’s "Rules of the Game," the narrator reveals her relationship with her mother through a story about her childhood. In Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator reveals how and why he commits murder.

“The Tell-Tale Heart” also relies on foreshadowing to create suspense:

I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it—oh so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head.

In the excerpt, the reader learns that the narrator will eventually kill the old man. This knowledge builds a growing sense of tension and unease in the reader.

“Rules of the Game” uses parallel episodes to emphasize and develop the mother-daughter relationship. These episodes occur at the beginning and end of the story. At the beginning of the story, Waverly's mother teaches the saying "Strongest wind cannot be seen."

"Bite back your tongue,” scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, “Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind—poom!—North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen."

At the end of the story, Waverly finally understands the meaning of the saying as she lies in bed:

In my head, I saw a chessboard with sixty-four black and white squares. Opposite me was my opponent, two angry black slits. She wore a triumphant smile. "Strongest wind cannot be seen," she said.
