Garret Son of the Revolution

So far the Son of The Revolution has been a very enjoyable and thought provoking book. After reading a solid thirty pages, i have learned much about not only the family, but also myself. As i probe deaper into this novel, it enlightens me on how politics and social classes affect not only the daily lives, but also the basic foundations on which faimilies rely. It unveils the deeper grooves carved into Chinese culture and their politics. Honor to your political party is in direct corolation with ones social status and public rankings. When the mother was forced to give reason against her parties ranking, she was depleated to a lower status and forced into a Reformation Camp. The father, who was deeply instilled with these cultural grooves and was forced at political gun point to divorce and dismember his wife for the future of his and his childrens lives did regretably.
