Red Scarf Girl~Setting
The setting of this book takes place in Shanghai, China in a "nice" house of Ji-Li and her family. She was basically under the catergory of "rich" in that period of time. Ji-Li and her family had many things in their house that they valued, but as soon as the Cultural Revolution starts, they lost everything. Ji-Li was just 12 in that year of 1966 and was going through hard times because of her family background during the "CR." When the "CR" began, a new rule was set up for the "four-olds" and were replaced by the "four-news." Because of this, all of Ji-Li's dreams and hopes were crushed and she began to feel lost and ashamed.

Nice description of the setting!!! You really described it well. Well, since i'm reading the same book I can't really make a text to text. So, i'll just praise your work. I think that how you didn't make it boring was a good thing~~ Also, the generalization was really good.
I feel like somehow i'm like a teacher praising her favorite student...=P
Great job on the setting!
Your setting analysis just gripped the point and .... great! I love your blog! How'd you get the background???
I never knew that we were reading the same book, too~
