Amy Tan
What are the themes in "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan?
I was also wondering if the theme coming of age can be worked in this story??
You could push for Family Unity as a theme. Coming of age can work to a degree. The little girl (it's been awhile since I read this, so I do not remember her name) finds her independence later in the story, which would break free from this idea of Family Unity, because the rest of her family stays close. In fact, I believe the mother once states, "Have no concerning with this girl, she has no concerning with us" or something along those lines. Also, at the end, when she closes her eyes and "plans her next move" she could be referring to planning her next move to further her independence.
