chinese cultural revolution photo

 my photo is the first photo in the struggle category; in the photo the red guards look like they are being really firm and mean with an elderly woman, who looks very innocent and as if she had done nothing wrong. Its very similar to red scarf girl and the documents we have been reading because all of ji-li jiang friends before they became were red succesors were like her best friends but after they were elected as red successors they were extremely mean to ji-li jiang and they were criticizing her about her family backround just because they were in a higher power than her. In the picture the red guards wanted to show everyone what happens to people that dont follow chairman mao, but that was just her opinion and the elderly woman had done nothing wrong.

It is similar to red scarf girl how the red successors were also making fun of ji li jiang because her grandfather was a landlord, even though she did nothing wrong and it had nothing to do with her, she was still treated badly and was yelled at for pretty much no reason. In the photo the Red guards look like they have no emotions at all and they look super stiff and harsh, which is similar to one of the poems we read where it talks about how  harsh the red guards have to be and how they have to do anything they can to support/follow chairman mao. it doesnt make sense how in the actual picture, the book, and in the poems it kind of explains how the red guards/ revolutionarie's have to be so brutal to other people just because they have an opposite opinion or just simply didnt care about what was happening in china at the time.

GPA College Blog 2

What is discovered about my grade point average is that its horrible(HORRIBLE) and i was very very disapointed in myself. i know i could be doing better in school and i know i could be putting more effort into school. 

 What i learned about the schools i would like to attend is that they are really difficult to get accepted to. And i need to be doing way better in school to be able to attend these schools.

;my next step is to just do as best as i can and work my butt off till the end of the year and try and get all my grades up as best as possible.
