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.]]> 2022-03-04 16:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078280480 https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078280990 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.

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."]]> 2022-03-04 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078287894 https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078288037 "I want to change my name"

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."]]> 2022-03-04 17:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078292331 https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078292546 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.

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. ]]> 2022-03-04 17:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078295061 https://padlet.com/kristychao/mpuct4fbnm4t72y3/wish/2078295661 why cant Ji Li's family just move to a safer place?

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.

This shows that Ji-li keeps learning new things about her family and that it keeps making things worse at her school.
