Wild Ginger 2....Brianna

As I said last time Maple and Wild Ginger do become the kind of outcast friends but their friendship is a weird one. Wild Ginger is sooo rude and disrespectful to her mom and her french father. I think she comes off like a brat. But i guess, who wouldn't when all the parents "crimes" are blamed on the child. While Wild Ginger is trying to do anything she can to distance herself from her parents Maple (not even knowing Gingers father) defends them because she can see past some of the blame and see peoples loyalty and virtue. I think she can also understand the situation better then Ginger b/c her dad saw the chinese revolution differently then most Maoists. Their friendship kind of struggles to survive the tension with the whole Evergreen thing. They both come to like the boy but Evergreen goes for Wild ginger first. Wild Ginger is respected for "outing criminals", even ppl like her own mom. At this point in the book all the children are taken out of school to march the country and train so theyll be able to defend themselves and fight if needed. Thats where i am so far and even tho its an easy read its definatly an interesting book
