2nd Journal of memoir book

Red Scarf Girl
A memior of the Cultural Revolution
By Ji-li Jiang

My reaction to the book just got so sad an shocking. I dont understand why the students think they are doing a good thing to their leader when they are all messing and making more problems. It made me think how stupid the students are by bullying each other. I believe that their new leader Chairman Mao is a very bad influence and is just causing more death and making the economy more miserable by making one another turn against eachother and making students have a easy school with no studying. I have just gone shock when people dont care about each other anymore and even someone's own family member hated each other for being born to their generation. at first the book seem to have a nice and peaceful back ground but then it started to fall apart. The tension of the book starts to built up more and more and the book just seem more interesting because it makes me ponder about what is going to happen next. Makes me wonder if things are geting any worser or are they going to get solve. But it is already the middle of the book and the problems of the book just seem to get worser and it just draws me deepper into the book waiting to see what will happen next.

School is almost over for Jiang, She wanted to becaome one of the red successor. Jiang was nominated but Yin Lan-lan said that they should look up their family backgroung and that was when she said Jiang's grandpa was a land lord and her dad was a rightist. Jiang couldnt said anything because she didnt know. So she went crying home and later her dad took her and her sister out to talk about their family backgroung. Her dad is appointed a vice-principle of a primary school and her grandpa was a land lord and a businessman. But he was sick the whole time and he die when Jieng's dad was seven. The ten successor was elected and none of then was Jiang. One day they wanted to talk to Jiang about her because of her back ground and her family. I believe this isnt right because they were jealouse of Jiend and they are mean to her just because of her back groung and they Jiang was always the lead in their homeroom. MAny policys have been changed. Jiang, their school don thave to take any final test to graduate. They just graduate. Jiang was worried because what about going to the next school, how are they going to be evaulate? Teacher Gu tell Jiang that the teacher makes the decision but found out that students in the same district are all going to the same school. Jiang was deeply disappointed abause she wont be going to the school she wanted, a elited school. Afterward, many people were bullied intheir neighbor.Homes were being search for the "four olds" it's bad to have thise and tehy are suppose to delvolpe the "four news" If there are a rumor going around then your house will ne search and all the thihngs that they think are "four olds will be taken away and everywhere in your house will be search so that means a super messy house with many broken up dihes and items that are being toss down the floor to be check and also by drilling hole i your house to check for hidden places of jewlery." The sound of drums and gongs drew near againg," This passage show that when ever there are these sound then there are being a search house. Many epople have been frighten that barley anyone is outside to play anymore. When though kids dont have school.
