Setting: Red Scarf Girl

Setting
My book for the literacy circle is the Red Scarf Girl. It is about a 12 year-old girl called Ji-Li Jiang durng the time of the Cultural Revolution. She is a intelligent, responsible, mature, praised, and beautiful girl whose life was perfect before the Cultural Revolution. Her world seems to fall apart and she is soon questioned about her political status. This takes place in China, Shanghai, and the year of 1966. Ji-Li lives in the nicer neighboorhood of Shanghai due to the fact that her family is richer than others. She goes to Xin Er Primary School. I think the setting of the book is very important because without the setting there would be no story. The whole story is about the setting. If she hadn't lived there, her life wouldn't have been like that.
