Game/Wall blog

I found that both stories, rules of the game and the voices from the wall, both told very interesting stories. The girl in the first story adapts herself to her surroundings and situation by learning how to play chess and being good at it, this in turn makes her and her mother disagree and bicker about the game. Her mother thinks it’s a useless game, while she thinks of it as her passion and uses all her spare time to get better at it. In the next story, the main character is mixed with Chinese. Like most mixed kids, she goes through some pretty rough times trying to find her real identity. So focuses her emotions into the sounds and conversations that she hears coming through her bedroom wall. During this time, her mother, who was pregnant, loses the baby and starts to go crazy, her dad doesn’t say much either. She becomes very sad and lonely and then starts paying even more attention to the things that go on in the apartment next door because her life is so full of sadness. she wants to focus on other things.
