MAKING CONNECTIONS: I can connect the Chinese revolution with the American revolution. They both have citizens rise up against an unjust government. On page 148 Ling even says< "I wish I was in America right now. Their revolution ended so long ago before I was alive."

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS: A supporting character in my book is Mr. Wong. Ling, the main character, doesn't know Mr. Wong well, but he has a minor role in the book. He is kidnapped by the government to show their power. I know this because Ling says on page 58, "I didn't know Mr. Wong very well. He did live a few doors down, though, Why did they take him?" This shows that she didn't know him well and he had a minor role.
