Kim WildGinger2

So when I was reading this book I was trying to put myself in the shoes of all the children during the revoultion. I don't think i would really like how my whole curriculum would be based on the teachings of Mao. I don't find it very productive for these kids to learn all the Mao quotations, but not simple math. I also think that the overall effect of the Mao movement was not a good one for the children becasue it added uneeded stress to their lives. I mean just look at the toll that it took on everyone, Wild Ginger, Maple, Evergreen, and even Hot Pepper. As the book goes on I am starting to not like Wild Ginger as much but I still feel sorry for her because I think that she was brain washed with all the Mao teachings and she was drunk with her power. Over all I think that this was a good book, it incorporated the revolution with human interaction and gives you a unique perspective on the Chinese Revolution.
