Mrs. Jong and Waverly

{Is Mrs. Jong a positive or negative influence on Waverly’s development?}

Mrs. Jong was not a positive influence How can something so right turn into something so wrong? A mother’s love became too much. Favoring a child and making decisions for them. A mom trying to raise her child started out the best way she could “Strongest wind cannot be seen”. All of these things influenced Waverly’s development. Chess is not what this is all about.

Waverly started out like most typical children; with a mom who cared so much about her and passed on things she knew. Mrs. Jong may not of been the smartest of all moms but she always knew what to say. She had this way of saying things like “Bite back your tongue” and “invisible strength” she had good values. Then one day Waverly discovered a new game. The game had secrets and pieces that had special meanings. A game she wanted to know so much about. It’s the game of Chess. The game that changed the way she was being raised. Her mom went from raising a girl to raising a famous girl. I never thought that Mrs. Jong would be able to change so quickly but she did. She would go around town showing off her daughter. She didn’t let her daughter know about her gift she always told her, “Is luck”.

Waverly’s mom ruined her daughter’s development. Telling her how to dress, and doing her hair, telling strangers about her daughter, letting her leave the dinner table whenever she wanted to, and making her children change their own lives so Waverly can have her own room. Not only was this teaching an 8 year old how to pick favorites but it is also being unfair and a bad mother to her other children by making them do Waverly’s chores. When her two sons asked, “Why does she get to play and we do all the work?” she said “Meimei play, squeeze all her brains out for win chess. You play, worth squeeze towel” I know that she did these things to make her better and because she was proud and so on but there are other ways to go about
