On page 199, she is struggling to audition for the propaganda group based on her black family background. She doesn ́t want them to know about how her grandpa is a landlord. If they know she could get embarrassed and in trouble with red guards as well as her dad

Quote: "I'll do it"
page #: 198
why its important: When Ji-li said this, you could infer that she is struggling to maintain being an educable child and she is struggling to overcome her landlord backround. Ji-li has to think over what Teacher Zhang had said to her. She didn't have to worry about her family backround, she could choose her future and overcome her family.

# data[].attributes.body
Ji-Li keeps wanting to abandon her family and become a child of Chairman Mao, But she just can't. Like when she wants to Change her name.  On page 212, She walks past the police station and She says that she wants to change her name. In the end, She can't do it because she doesn't want to hurt her mother more than she already has. ( she got into a fight with her mom).

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that keeps happening is doubt because whenever something good is about to happen right before it becomes bad. Just like how the Jiangs were so prepared for dad but he came for clothes, on pg 207 and 208.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 211 - 215, Ji-Li said out loud to her mother that she hates her family. She doesn't talk to her mother at all and even tries to change her name. She decides to run away after she finds out that she has to break relations with her parents.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 225-226 Ji-li is being pressured by Thin-Face to try to tell them if her father has been listening to foreign radio and it shows that Chairman Jin might not have cared for Ji-li presentation but just wanted details about her father.

# data[].attributes.body
There is an emotion that keeps happening, that is anger. Ji-li is upset about her grandfather being a landlord, while he is a landlord she is getting punished by others. Especially Ji-li's grandma since she's a landlord's wife. This is why the hide their grandmother and try to protect her

# data[].attributes.body
on page 214 it says how Ji-Li was gonna change her name because her class status was low and she is also gonna change her family name also she wants to change her name so she can be an educable child

Quote: "No one taught me."
Page number: 192
Why the quote is important: I think this is important because it shows that Ji-li is a self learner and can teach herself how to do things like sowing.

# data[].attributes.body
One event that keeps repeating is that Ji-li keeps having to think about one question: Should she go against her parents and support the revolution or she can keep getting referred to with her parents of having a bad background. On page 224 it states "As I told you before, you are your own person. If you want to make a clean break with your black family, then you could be an educable child and we will welcome you to our revolutionary ranks."

# data[].attributes.body
"I want to change my name"
- Ji-li page #214
It's important because if Ji-li changed her name she wouldn't have a bad class status and could be an educable child. But she also won't be with her family

# data[].attributes.body
On page 228 when Ji-li was going to go to the class exhibition and was stopped by Chairman Jin and was told that she had been replaced by Fang Fang because of her political situation
and her class status that was exposed the day before because of a newspaper article, and by people from her father's work unit.

# data[].attributes.body
Ji-li is always having to choose Chairman Mao or her family, just like on pg 225-227 her dad was at the theater and she had to choose if she wanted to start a new life and future or stay with her black whelp family.

On page 223-224 Ji-li has to pick if she wants to be with her family and have all this conflict and struggle or she can go with Chairman mao and be happy. If she wants to not get embarrassed she can go with chairman mao.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Ji-Li and her family punished for their family's actions and doings? No human is perfect and everyone has made mistakes in their life. Ji-Li's family shouldn't have to suffer because of what their ancestors did.

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that keeps on repeating is worrying, I found a quote on page 179, where it talked about how grandma had been worried because her son had not come back from work. Here is the quote, "He knew that he would be detained sooner or later. He told me not to worry too much. grandma's voice was steady, but her tears kept dropping on my hand."

# data[].attributes.body
On page 214, Ji-li was talking about changing her name. If she changes her name, I think she would have to separate from the family. Ji-li doesn't want to have a bad class status. So I think that if she changes her name, she would be gone from the Jiang family.

# data[].attributes.body
Page #: 228
Important event: Ji-li receives news from Chairman Jin that because of her political backround she is being replaced for the class education exhibition.

# data[].attributes.body
This event happened on page 229, When Bai Shan wanted to give Ji-Li the green book with Jiang written in it.  I think that only part of the reason Ji-Li didn't take the book was because she was embarrassed and wanted to get away.  In the book it states," It was dark green. A book. A dictionary, with "Jiang" written in the corner.". The author gives us very little detail about the book, except the color and one word. Jiang. Obviously Ji-Li blames her family background for what's happening to her, And I think that the Author didn't give anymore detail about the book because it's a symbol of how Ji-Li doesn't want to be a Jiang. It also symbolizes How Ji-Li just wants to runaway from the name Jiang.

# data[].attributes.body
why cant Ji Li's family just move to a safer place?
I think they cant move because maybe it is illegal to move because of the cultural revolution

# data[].attributes.body
On page 226, Ji- li struggles to decide whether to break away from her father or to stay with him. If she did stay with them she would get humiliated but if she broke away she would just be a normal child. If she did break away, however, her father would be humiliated.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 224-225 they are pressing Ji-li to tell them what her father did this is important because they want her to leave her black family and join chairman mao but she chooses her family over them. this means she has more dedication to family than chairman mao

# data[].attributes.body
How can Song Po-po pay for the vegetables that she keeps sending the Jiangs when Ji-Li said that she doesn't have a job?
I think that the Jiang family is still sending some money to her for basic necessities.

# data[].attributes.body
An emotion that keeps happening is self-doubt. On page 196, Ji-li asked Teacher Zhang if she was or wasn't a leader. This means that she didn't think that she was capable enough to do the exhibition. Ji-li also thought that she wouldn't be appreciated at school because of her family and class status.

# data[].attributes.body
When Teacher Zhang gives Ji-li a talk about her being an Educable child and be able to defeat the difficulties in like, I think that he suggested that Ji-li should break away with her family. I believe this because on page 223-224, he was present in the meeting that suggested that Ji-li should criticize her dad. I already know that Teacher Zhang supports the revelution. So, I inference that teacher Zhang meant Ji-li to make a clean break with her family.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Chase too but if she lost her last name Jiang who would pay for the school? I think maybe the principal would just let her stay because she needs to start a new future.

# data[].attributes.body
On pg 198
Ji li wants to change her family background. Also wants to change her name and her family's name. She wants to be and mostly identifies her self as chairman mao's daughter.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is Ji-li not able to go to the exhibition because of something that her grandfather and her other relatives have done? I think the answer is that since she was born into a black family, the red guards and the red guard committee might think that the people in her family might have made a bad impression on her and might make her turn against Charman Mao and the cultural revolution

# data[].attributes.body
Why does Song po po insist on cleaning the household. Doesńt she know that its fourolds. Does this mean that she is not afraid of the red guards?

# data[].attributes.body
207-209
Question: Why didn't Ji-li's dad stay for dinner and stay home but only go get his clothes?
221
Answer: Ji-li's dad still is accused of committing serious mistakes

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 210-212 a newspaper article was posted on the Jiangs saying that they had 33,000 acres of land. Many people were making fun of her about it and she wanted to change her name. I think that the newspaper article could change a lot of things like if people want to be friends with her at school.

# data[].attributes.body
"This is a surprise" While Ji-li's grandmother was having some bits of emotion since her son was taken away. Ji-li was surprised so she wanted to talk grandma out of it to not worry about it and make sure that he's home some day.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know why Thin Face wants Ji-li to testify her father at the struggle meeting? I think its because the mom and grandma would refuse to confess the situation. Ji-li's brother and sister would be too young and wouldn't know what to answer. Thin Face's only hope was to ask Ji-li and try to convince her to testify for her dad's struggle meeting.

# data[].attributes.body
Q: Why would Song Po-po start working for the Jiangs again even after the Jiangs told her not to?

A: Maybe because she knew that the Jiangs were having a hard time in the Cultural Revolution because they were on the list of black families, and Song Po-po wants to help them out, so the least she could do was to help them with housework.

# data[].attributes.body
Quote: "I hate my grandfather!" I said suddenly. " If he hadn't been a landlord, none of this would've happened to me."
Page #: 154
Why it's important: I think this is important because this shows that Ji-li Doesn't like her family background.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 206-209 when Ji-li's father was cleared of the charges of listening to foreign radio. When dad was at the door they trid to let him in, but he ws only allowed to pick up some clothes

# data[].attributes.body
I can infer that Ji-Li's attitude is going to keep on changing throughout the book. On page 202 Ji-Li says, "Don't be so childish" I snapped." In the beginning of the book, Ji-Li was known to be kind and respectful. I can infer since all of these horrible things have been happening through the book, her emotions have died down and she is used to the sadness and dissapointment. She has developed some sas and is not afraid to stand up for herself. This is important because it might add a new perspective to her character.

On page 202 why dose Chang Hong have it out on Bai Shan?

# data[].attributes.body
Quote: "You can break with your family and follow Chairman Mao, or you can follow your father and become an enemy of the people."
Page #: 226
Why the quote is important: I think this quote is important because it tells you that she is wanting to join Chairman Mao but does not want to leave her family.

# data[].attributes.body
Q: Why won't people just hunt down Chairman Mao/assassinate him
A: If people assassinated or hunted Chairman Mao they shall be punished and arrested for 40 years or more or the Red Guards shall kill them

# data[].attributes.body
On page 225, Thin-Face tells Ji-li that she can testify against her father at the struggle meeting. I think this is important because Ji-li doesn't know whether to listen to Thin-Face and expose her father or decline his offer.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 205 i have a connection to ¨but we can not enjoy our accomplishment¨¨we put our heads on the table and fell fast asleep¨. The reason I have a connection to this is because this is what homework reminds me of. Even if i'm tired I have to do it or I will get punished.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 211, Ji-li thinks "Why had my parents hidden these things from me? What else was there? Had Dad really committed a crime? Why hadn't the theater let him come home? Anger rose in me." This shows that Ji-li keeps learning new things about her family and that it keeps making things worse at her school. It also shows that people are thinking about the Jiang family because nothing is a secret about them and that people find things out about their family really quickly. For example, her family got lots of bad things written about her in the news paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Quote: You can break with your family and follow Chairman Mao, or you can follow your father and become an enemy of people."
Page #: 226
Why it's important: Ji-li can break ties with her parents and become an educable child with good status. But she won't be able to talk with the family she grew up with and loved. Or she could stay with her family, but have a bad class status and be a hated enemy of people.

# data[].attributes.body
why is Ji-li's father not staying for dinner and just there to get more cloths?
I think it is because they still suspect he did something or said something against Chairman Mao.

Q: Why is the second chapter we are talking about called Half-City Jiangs?

A: Maybe it´s to express that everyone feels like the Jiangs live in their city, but are not a part of it. What I mean is that the Chinese don´t feel like the Jiangs are part of the community during this time.
