Answer and Explanation:
A character sketch, as the name suggests, is a type of draft or summary of a character. Sketches are often used by authors during the pre-writing phase, as a means to build their characters. They usually concern physical appearance, personality, actions, and feelings, among other possibilities. In this case, we are analyzing a character that belongs to an existing story. Since the story you chose is "Rules of the Game", we will be sketching the narrator/main character, Waverly.
Character sketch:
Waverly is a young girl of Chinese descent. She is a quick learner, picking up life lessons as well as learning to play chess with an ease that is quite surprising for her age. Waverly also seems to have a questioning nature, especially when it comes to certain demands from her mother. Even though she can be considered a genius, Waverly is still just a girl who has to mature and learn enough to become as strong and resilient as her mother.
Now, let’s provide evidence to the sentences above:
1. Waverly is a young girl of Chinese descent. She is a quick learner, picking up life lessons as well as learning to play chess with an ease that is quite surprising for her age. - "Bite back your tongue," scolded my mother when I cried loudly, yanking her hand toward the store that sold bags of salted plums. At home, she said, "Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we say, Come from South, blow with wind-poom!-North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be seen." The next week I bit back my tongue as we entered the store with the forbidden candies.
I studied each chess piece, trying to absorb the power each contained. I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps.
2. Waverly also seems to have a questioning nature, especially when it comes to certain demands from her mother. - One day, as she struggled to weave a hard-toothed comb through my disobedient hair, I had a sly thought. I asked her, "Ma, what is Chinese torture?" My mother shook her head.
3. Even though she can be considered to be a genius, Waverly is still just a girl who has to mature and learn enough to become as strong and resilient as her mother. - "What you say?" I knew it was a mistake to say anything more, but I heard my voice speaking, "Why do you have to use me to show off? If you want to show off, then why don't you learn to play chess?" My mother's eyes turned into dangerous black slits. She had no words for me, just sharp silence.

3. For what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement. - a. Overuse of Thesaurus
Explanation:
Let's take a look at each sentence.
Sentence number 1 uses a very simple vocabulary. In a sense, there is nothing special about it. No vivid descriptions, no word choice to help us picture the actions or sense the feelings. Therefore, it is an example of immature writing.
Sentence 2 is the opposite of 1. It uses more complex and descriptive words. Instead of simply saying "she played video games", the author makes it an action really worth telling with "she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games." It sounds more exciting, and we can see her, the character, in action. Therefore, number 2 is an example of mature writing.
Finally, sentence 3 goes to an extreme when it comes to the use of complex or unusual words. It seems as if the author wanted to sound smart, so he/she exaggerated in the use of the Thesaurus. That, as a matter of fact, makes it much more difficult to comprehend the message being conveyed.
Answer:
She played video games all day long without stopping - Immature writing
Without ceasing, she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games all day long - Mature Writing
or what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement - Overuse of the Thesaurus
Explanation:
She played video games all day long without stopping.
A) Immature Writing
Explanation: While this is a complete sentence, this is generally only accepted in casual sentences, and is not used for formal writings.
B) Mature Writing
Without ceasing, she gripped her controller in her hands and dominated her video games all day long.
Explanation: While this is not a casual writing, it doesn't overuse any "high-class" words that very few know. This is the right sentence to use in many stories or essays.
C) Overuse of the Thesaurus
For what had the quality of time interminable, she toiled merrily at her digital amusement.
Explanation: This sentence uses the Thesaurus too much, for many of the words used are not "every-day" words, and is most likely a "bigger" word found in the Thesaurus.

The dogs would not stop chasing each other.

Answer:
The sonnet was a poetry of love and thus by including sonnet as a form of conversation between Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare portrays the strong emotion between them.

In Act 1, Scene 3-5, when Romeo and Juliet exchange their conversation, they exchange in sonnets. Sonnets were the poems written generally with the theme of love. In this play, Shakespeare's including this form of poem is very remarkable.
As we read the conversation exchanged between Romeo and Juliet, we see how perfectly synchronized are they, matching each other's rhyme and tune. This shows their strong bond and connection between them. When Romeo addresses his love for Juliet as a spiritual ritual, it reveals the strong emotion shared between them. Religious is considered to be the strongest emotion of all and connotating his love as a spiritual thing, it shows their strong emotional connection.
