Image Connection To Red Scarf Girl





My Image connects to The Red Scarf Girl because it shows Chairman Mao in a photo and 


people standing around it, which shows how much they love him and what he does. In the 


book Ji-Li tells how much Chairman Mao is loved by herself and everyone around her. In 


china they were all raised up on communism and equality, and thats what Chairman Mao 


belived. He was like the presedent to them and they loved him to the point that when he 


spoke at events and meetings people would begin to get teary eyed and they would 


tremble at the sight of him. Thats how much he was loved and thats what this picture 


shows. Ji-Li and the other china citizens treated him like he was god! They really did. What 


ever Mao said went, I don't even think people had a choice weather to love Mao or not.

G.P.A

I discovered that my grade point average was not as great as i expected it to be. It was over a 2.0 which means its a good g.p.a but i dont want to be in a 2 catagory i perfer to be in a 3. I was very disapointed by what i saw. I am currently trying to get my grades back to how they were so i can at least get back to how i was before, right now im trying to get my grades to at least a B- because im trying to strive to be better. Its hard but im going to try and do my very best and remember how this can help me in my future, because i have so many dreams.YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!I learned that one of the schools i was thinking about going to "Rider University" has many scholarships that are offered to students with a 2.5 or higher and i had a 2.3 from my caculations. I plan to improve big time! There was one school i heard about and i cant think of the name of it but it isa really good music school that i might want to go to, i know for a fact that the average g.p.a you need to have for that school is a 2.5 and im working on that. Even though the school i want attend requires me to have a 2.5 im still going to strive for better becuase i know i can do better thatn that. My next step is to of course do better, im going to try and focus more on my school work rather than other things. I need to focus more on myself and my school work more than others and what they are doing. When im not focus on my work that is when the distraction comes into play and i start to drift off. Im definatly seeing a change in myself and how i work, last semester i had good grades and this semester my grades dropped a tad bitand im working on get them up and i belive with hardwork and determination i can do just that.

Internship

What struck me most was that all of the interns said that what you learn durring internship will stick with you

forever. They said that you will remember this expeirience for the rest of your life, and its somthing you have

to prepare for. They also said that when you are approaching internship year (11th grade) that you should

look for your internship durring the summer because it helps, because all the internship opportunitys go by

fast.

In an internship i look for somthing that is going to help me in the real world. I also look for somthing that will

benifit me towards my future and goals. I look for an internship that will cordinate with what i want to persue

in life. One of the girls on internship talked about how she interned for a makeup artist company. She said

that what painted a picture for her was the interview that was a sucess by way of herself.

Suheir and Marjane pt 1

The connection between Suheir and Marjane is how she spoke of war. Suheir said smoke smoke smoke.

Which is what tide in to Marjanes life. Her whole poem was on war. Its as if she took you to iran in her

poem. My favorite part is when Suheir says smoke,smoke,smoke. Because it shows how after the bomb

hits it smokes. Suheir takes us there. Suheir must be from somewhere similar to iran. She spoke of it as if

she were in iran. Marjanes life kinda tied in with Suheirs speech, it almost sounded as if it was coming out

of Marjanes mouth. I could picture myself in Iran as she spoke, like she was telling a very long and detailed

story. It was very good.

Suheir and Marjane Pt 2

I think that Suheir was declaring war by how she was using her words. Many times Suheir said "These

motherfuckers ask me do i knw the terrorist. Because of my color." I think Suheird was declaring war on that

part because she hates the racism going on. Just because of her color...Thats messed up. Suheir mentioned

alot of death, and i think that she declared that a revolution. She said her brothers and sisters are being killed

and thats where the war ties in. Ther revolutionary is Suheir.

In Marjanes case. The revolution in the book was quite obvious. The sudden wearing of the veils, the

protest, the new strict laws. The war came from the numerous amounts of people ready to fight for their

rights. The revlutionary is not only one person but its all of the people ready to fight for their rights.
