At the end of chapter 10, ji-li is asked to join the propaganda group for the school newspaper. this is considered an honor. how does her reaction to being asked to join the propaganda group compare to her reaction to being asked to audition for the central liberation army arts academy (from chapter 1)? what happened in the past 18 months that might explain her different responses to being singled out? what impact might distinguishing a few students have on the larger group? what impact might it have on those particular students who are being singled out? under what conditions do you think it is appropriate to single out particular students in school? does your answer change if you consider distinguishing students for positive achievements as opposed to singling out students for negative behavior?
