Red Scarf Girl Plot

So far in this book, the plot goes like this. The exposition of this book starts out with Ji-Li as a student who is loved, respected, and admired by her fellow classmates, friends, teachers, and family members. As the Cultural Revolution began, Ji-Li finds out that her grandfather was a "landlord" making her class status in the"black" category. Since she is considered a "black," her family is always humiliated and her dreams and hopes get crushed. Well, I guess the start if the Cultural Revolution is the Rising Action of the book. The Climax of the book I guess is when her family is like really falling apart and she is so tired of being treated so badly, etc. Well, the falling action of this book is when all the troubles are coming to an end and the Cultural Revolution is also coming to an end. And the Resolution is when she moves to the states. I think that's about it. Well, I'm really glad that the Cultural Revolution is over now. I felt so bad for all the people who had to go through it.

I felt so sorry for Ji-Li when her dreams got crashed just becaus her grandpa was the "black". (According to your writing)This book sounds so interesting because I haven't read any historical fictions about the cultural revolution. And it's in different setting and the very different characters from what I read:)
