Red Scarf Girl, a book made by Ji-li Jiang is very inspiring story. The reason why I say this is that when you are at the lowest and have nothing there is still hope to move forward. This is what the story is all about. Moving Forward. Its amazing really, to have nothing and to have the courage to go ahead into life. I couldn't put the book down when i started to read it.

Her Grandfather was a landlord, and many people believed that her father was a rightist. Due to this horrible class status Ji-Li had to suffer from their actions.

Her life was considered perfect, good grades, politeness, everything. That changed, now she felt angry and failed by her family. She was now considered "Black". This was the turning point of the story. From there on, things started to get worse. Her father was detained her mother and grandmother punished for being related to a "Landlord". Therefore making this a large key event f not, then THE largest event in this story. I rest my case...

character blog


In Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Liang a youth girl named Ji-li is facing discrimination during the culture revolution in Shanghai,China,1966. Her family is accused of exploit and bad class status. She loves the revolution and everything about China, but now she feels uncomfortable with this revolution that attacked her neighborhood. She is determined to follow her faith and fight back by all odds. For an example her parents would not allow her to attend an audition to be part of the liberation army. She had the courage to stand by her family and look strait into the principles eyes and said she couldn't go. This demonstration of her courage to face embarrassment proved her honor. Another example is when her class elected kids to be Red Guards, she was almost picked when kids started to call her a Black whelp. And that her father was a rightist and herd grandfather was a Landlord. These type of people were hated during the revolution. She was so determined and courageous that she yelled back the truth to set her name strait.

Walk Two Moons Blog #3

The visit from Mrs.Patriadge madethe girls somewhat relieved because she was the one leaving the notes. I felt relieved to. Sal finds her mother's grave because she died long before. The ending did surprise me put it wasn't a bad one. I think the sheriff did do the right thing because he knew about her mother and had feelings for her. Overall i think this was one of the best books i have read.

To begin with i feel for sal, because she lost a parent. I lost one for a time, but then i got to see him again. She lost her parent basically all her life. She has a loving dad and grandparents for her though. Her best friends name is phoebe,she does alot of stuff with her. One day a mysterious person knocked on phoebe's house door, he seemed to be a launatic to her. After that day messages have been appearing on her front door like Dont judge a man until you walked two moons with his moccasins. I am puzzled about that message still but i think it means to not judge someone until they step into their shoes while they are caught between issues. So far think this book is very peculiar. I am enjoying it. :)

Speech presentation reflection

To begin with i thought this was a personal achievement for public speaking to me. My speech was about modeling, my hobby. My feelings and thoughts about the speech was, "good" or "nicely done". It felt kind of akward because this was a lame hobby to many and i might be picked on. But it wasn't because anything can be you hobby its your choice no one needs to understand or think it is cool, but its just you that finds it interesting. It doesn't matter how it is treated, its just yours.
