Red Scarf Girl (Character)

Jili Jiang is the main character in this book. Jili shows leadership towards her siblings and learned to act like an adult even when she is younger than most of the people in our class... The character goes through many difficult situations and it is impossible for a teenager to go through something like that well is not common... It is also hard to go through a humiliation like Jili had from the government. Because her grand father was a land lord, she was considered a five black category and called a black whelp. She lost many opportunities to accomplish her dream. She was always the victim and eventually got brainwashed to the communist ways. I think that the cultural revolution takes a huge part of Jili's life. She was a great athelete, loved the bourgeois ways that she was provided with. But she lost everything. Her father, an actor, was forced to become a janitor and her grandmother and mother as street cleaners. She and her siblings were called a black whelp. They weren't allowed to do anything of their choice. But Jili went through all these problems courageously and was very intriguing to me.........
