    The protagonist Waverly Jong changes from the beginning till the end in "The Rules of The Game" a short story by Amy Tan.

    Explanation:

    The main character Waverly Jong at the age of six learnt "the art of invisible strength," a strategy for winning arguments and gaining respect from others in games from her mother. Slowly, she started taking interest in playing chess and mastered the strategies of the game. At the age of nine, she became a National Champion and gained popularity. On Saturdays, she would accompany her mother to the market where the latter boasted about her daughter. Waverly started taking it as exploitation and one day fought with her mother. She ran away but returned after a few hours when the entire family started avoiding her. Sitting in her dark room, she started visualizing her life through the strategies of chess. The theme of heritage is an important element that works in this story. Mrs Jong shows off her daughter to everyone whom she thinks is her legacy to the world and feels responsible for her daughter's success. Waverly thinks differently. She thinks she has accomplished everything on her own. The dreamlike chess game shows the struggle for control between Waverly and her mother. This is how the main character develops from the beginning to the end.

    Two specific details from the text that support this are:

    "I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was a strategy for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it at the time, chess games."

    "I discovered that for the whole game one must gather invisible strengths and see the endgame before the game begins."
