Red Scarf Girl (Character Development)

Ji- li was once this girl, who understood very little of her family. She once believed that nothing was more important than being a child of Mao. She totally supported the cultural revolution and nothing was going to stop her from being a part of it. Yet, in the story, what happens her to makes her doubtful of what is right in the world. From ji-li i guess i could say that i had learned alot from her. Over the past few days while i was reading, i was really..amazed by the courage she had, and i wish i had at least half of that. When i look back on my post about courage, it was nothing like the one she faced. Ji-li wasnt very couragous from the beginning, but as time wore on, she was. She developed into an adult over the past year. She had been forced to see reality as it was. She could have ignored everything, but she had decided to face everything that had been layed out infront of her. I know that what she had gone through couldnt have been easy. Besides the problem in her family, because of her family, she had to be looked down upon. it would have been easy to walk away, but hse didnt. Everybody knows that its hard to take humiliation, even when you know you dont deserve it. But, she was able to stand up tall and show everyone that she was strong and brave. Anyway, overall, i though that this was a good book, and you really can learn what is more important, the outside world, or the people who have stuck with you in no matter what situation.
