Chinese Cultural Revolution Photos

One way that Red Scarf Girl connects to my photo is that in the begginng of the book, Ji-Li, her little brother, and her best friend witnessed the breaking of a store sign because it contained the four olds in it's name and it was considered bad. Another way that it connects is that when The Red Guards went and deystroyed or took everything that contained the four olds from Ji-Li's neighbor and from the man in the excerpt from Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Chang. Also when Ji-Li's family had to diguise her grandma's dowery by dying the red chests black and cuting up all the clothing.

GPA College Blog 2

I discovered that my GPA was 3.69 which is inbetween A- and and A. I was a little dissapointed with my grade since I know I can do better and get an A or maybe even an A+ and also because when we first looked at our GPA's it was higher. I don't think that the difference between an A- and an A is big and that I can still get into any college I want but I still feel like I should aim for a higher grade even if it's just one letter grade higher. Most of the colleges I want to go to are UC schools and for most you need high GPA's and I guess average SAT test scores to get in. So I guess I'll fit in when it comes to that but then I think about the extra curricular things which I need to, and will, do more of. Something that has gotten worse as the year progressed I guess are my quiz/test scores even though I do all my homework and I study a bit. So I guess I need to work on studying more. That's one thing I can do. Another is that I can look for extra credit work I can do like going to Office Hours.
