Status Updates From Revolution Is Not a Dinner ...

SUMMARY: 9 year old Ling lives in an apartment with her two parents, her mom and dad are both doctors. Everyday Ling has English lessons with her dad and practices hairstyles on him. Her mom is very strict and makes her eat foods that taste nasty but are supposedly good for either her hair, skin, nails, etc. One day Comrade Li , the fathers new boss, came to stay in one of their rooms and Ling became to wonder why.

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." This shows that I connected the Chinese revolution with the 13 colonies revolution.

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.
