Rules of The Game

This story was much better than "The life you save may be your own". It actually made sense and it was not weird and random. I thought it was pretty cool that the little girl was beating all of the older people. I did not like the fact that the mother pushed her daughter so hard. She seemed to be abusing her in a way. This reminds me of when parents push kids while they are doing something that they really like, for instance sports. Sometimes the parents push the kids too hard and the kid ends up hating what he loves to do. The mother at times seemed wise, and I almost started to like her, but then I was reminded of how she pushes her child to hard. She pushes Waverly so hard that she even runs away from her mother after leaving a shop. I guess I cannot really blame, because she has been through so much and is fed up with it. She probably could have solved it in a more civilized manner, but then again she is very young. I did not really get what the ending meant I am not sure if their was some sort of symbolic meaning to it I just didn't get it.
