An Educable Child?

Recently, Ji-Li has been experience success in her school, but she has been unwilling to embrace it because she is too afraid of being ridiculed for being part of a "black" family. She even tried to change her last name in hopes of getting away from the "landlord family that she hated".

Assignment 6: due Monday, March 23

1. How do you feel about Ji-Li's outburst at her mother, when she screamed that she hated her landlord family? Was she justified in saying that or was she being cruel?

2. Ji-Li was elected for the Propaganda Committee and joined even though she thought her class status would get in the way. When the news of the 'Half-City Jiangs' got in the papers she eventually was taken off of the Exhibition.
-was this fair to do to her?
-have you ever been asked to be in a group that you felt like you did not belong in? Whould you have joined such a group?

  1. I think she told her mother that just because she was angry, and she didnt know what other thing she should say.
    2. No this was not fair to her, her grandpa's problems should not affect her in any way. They asked her if she wanted to make a break from her family, I would say no because family is something you need to have.No I dont join groups that I don't think i belong in.

  4. 1)i think she said that because she was sick and tired of hearing people saying tht she is from a balck family
    2)it was not fare because she was not alive at the time and her grand pa died when her dad was 7 so she should not be afcted about this

  6. i felt like that wasnt neccessary at all and that she was justified about that situation.


    no i think it wadst fair because that group would effect her and her family even though she doesnt know that. she should also think before she joins that group.

  9. 1 i think she has a right to be angry at her mom because all the things happen to her. 2 it was the right thing to take herout the group because a black person in a red paper it can make the shcool safer. and i never joined a group.
