We have been reading The Red Scarf Girl for a few weeks now in class. This past week we finished the chapter titled Fate. Ji-Li and her best friend An-Yi discussed how the 'wheel of fate' seemed to be turning for some of their classmates, namely the character of Du Hai.
Du Hai's, Ji-Li's annoying classmate who called her out on being a grand daughter of a landlord thus not allowing her to become a part of the Red Successors, own mother went from being a Neighborhood chairwoman to being a victim of the revolution.
Several instances of pain, mistrust and danger have started to show up around Ji-Li's life. She has continued to say that these instances are because of fate.
Some people might argue that people have Free will and can make their lives turn out however they choose by their actions.
Assignment 3:due Monday March, 9th
1. Why do you think Ji-Li blames fate for her families problems?
2. Do you think it was possible for Ji-Li to use her Free Will to change her bad situation? Why or why not?
3. Make a prediction about Ji-Li's family, what do you think will happen to her and her family as the revolution continues? Will the 'wheel of fate' turn for them too?

She blames her family for those problems because she was born into a black family and she hates that she has to suffer because of that.
ReplyDeleteI think it might be possible for Ji-Li to use her free will because if she says the right things and persuades them she might be able to get her life back on track.
I think Ji-Li's family will get a bad name and they will think that is bad.
And the wheel of fortune will bring them to the bottem and then to the top but I think that the wheel of forutune will stop at one point and if Ju-Li's family is at the bottem their lifes will be ruined.

3.i think that the same way it turned in the beggining of the story that it is going to turn around again cause then if it doesnt then the book wont make since and then it would be boring
i think that ji-li blames fate for her family problems because she said that she was meant to be in a black family and she was maybe supposed to be black.
ReplyDeleteit was possible for ji-li to use her free will
ReplyDeleteyes the wheel of fate will turn for them
ReplyDeleteShe says fate is the thing that holds her back from having a great life, she was supposed to be very succesful, because she is very smart, they dont let black communist people do anything. No free will. I dont think she will get lucky any time soon....
