In "Rules of the Game," why does Waverly feel unhappy about shopping with her mother and see it as a duty she cannot avoid?

As a
renowned chess prodigy, Waverly is recognized throughout town for her accomplishments and
receives praise from her neighbors and local businesses. Every Saturday, Waverlys mother makes
her come to the local market and introduces her to nearly everyone she meets. Waverly
understands that her mother is simply showing her off and is embarrassed but feels like it is
her required duty. Waverly begins to resent her mother for showing her off on Saturdays and
eventually expresses her displeasure in the middle of the market. Waverlys comments offend her
mother and cause a significant rift in their relationship. Waverly ends up briefly running away
and must figure out a way to break free from her mothers authority and control.
