pawn noun 1: one of the chessmen of least value having the power to move only forward ordinarily one square at a time, to capture only diagonally forward, and to be promoted to any piece except a king upon reaching the eighth rank
2: one that can be used to further the purposes of another
“Pawn.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pawn. Accessed 16 Sep. 2020.
In paragraphs 21-25, when her brothers are learning chess and teaching her the “rules of the game”, they talk about pawns.
Please write a paragraph that responds to the following:
While this excerpt specifically focuses on chess and learning the rules of that game, in what way is the whole passage also a metaphor about life and learning rules to live by?
Your paragraph should have a clear topic sentence, sufficient detail, and a concluding statement. Your paragraph should include at least two examples of life “rules” learned by someone in the excerpt and reference at least one character who is treated as a “pawn”: one that can be used to further the purposes of another.
You can only use 1000 characters. The best way to create your response is to open a new Google Doc and type your response there. Use "Word count" in the "Tools" menu to see how many characters you have used. When you have completed your response, copy and paste the text here.
