Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Red Scarf Girl

Moving, honest, and deeply personal, Red Scarf Girl is the incredible true story of one girl’s courage and determination during one of the most terrifying eras of the twentieth century.

It's 1966, and twelve-year-old Ji-li Jiang has everything a girl could want: brains, popularity, and a bright future in Communist China. But it's also the year that China's leader, Mao Ze-dong, launches the Cultural Revolution—and Ji-li's world begins to fall apart. Over the next few years, people who were once her friends and neighbors turn on her and her family, forcing them to live in constant terror of arrest. And when Ji-li's father is finally imprisoned, she faces the most difficult dilemma of her life.

Judge About Books Red Scarf Girl

Check out my reviews on my blog!Life is stranger than fiction. Reading this unassuming-looking middle-grade book from 1999 really displays the truth of that statement. The Hunger Games, Divergentnone of these modern popular dystopian works come even close to the impact of Ji-li Jiangs Red Scarf Girl. As Ji-li takes us through her life during the start of Chinas Cultural Revolution, the fabric of Chinese society crumbles day by day. Heartbreak and destruction are constant, as homes are ransacked,

Ji-li Jiang writes of a terrible time the history of China and in her life. Everyone was so enamored and "brainwashed" by Mao's greatness that the Chinese began to change the way they thought, dressed, acted and were educated----and if they didn't, they were seen as Four Olds to be humiliated in front of family and friends by teen guards that had become revolutionized to do Mao's good work. Her family went from a success story to being blamed for a grandfather being a landlord which was

I have so many questions and so many thoughts after reading such a grueling book, especially when you know that this is a true story written by the protagonist herself. I can't believe that my grandpa went through this too! If I was her, I would've given up already. This book is kind of like Salva's story, a civil war. Although the cultural revolution wasn't a war, it certainly seemed like one, because of all the gruesome things that happened to the prisoners in China. The title of this book,

A young adult memoir about growing up in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution. In many ways, her background was similar to my wife's, so from this standpoint it was quite interesting. One step at a time, opportunities, luxuries, friendships, and even family relationships are stripped from her. It's done in the name of advancing the revolutionary spirit. While this is happening, she sometimes questions the authority and motives of the people implementing the policies. But she never thinks to

This book stated to drag on. Not to mention that I found two grammatical errors and I was like 13.

I must say, I am getting more and more disappointed with the schools choice of books to teach their curriculum. It's an absolute disgrace! I feel that by having adults find books they think kids and teens would want to read and be able to relate to, is a complete waste of time. I am aware however that they do their best, but none the less, it's not enough. This was one of six books that we read for class and by far this was the most tedious and poorly written. I feel I would learn more about the

A great memoir from a child's p.o.v. on living through the cultural revolution. Everything I know about the Cultural Revolution I learned from books like this. My lame Seymour High School education never even touched on Mao Ze-Dong, China, Asia, or any other culure aside from our young American culture and a small portion of Europe's, and only then when it had anything to do with our own. I am completely self-taught on all (important) things historical that were not quickly and poorly glossed
