In "The Rules of the Game" what did Waverley mean when she said this quote?"My mother imparted her daily truths so she could help my older brothers...

Let us remember the context of this powerful story. The
tale concerns a migrant family who have come from China to live in the States. As such,
they have to conquer and master a number of different challenges, tasks and skills,
learning English being just one of the many. Therefore, for the children of the
migrants, they are being brought up in a country which is not strictly their home - they
do not look "American" and they come from a very different cultural background compared
to their peers at school. Not starting out with the same advantages as others would mean
a greater challenge to stand out from the crowd and do well. Thus this quote indicates
the role of the mother in helping them to "rise above" their circumstances, and not let
them be a hindrance. Waverley's mother wants her children to be a success and to do
well, and so she pours her energies into making this happen. The rest of the story shows
how she does this with Waverley and her ability to play chess very
well.
