Journal 11-25-08
What does Ursule Mirouet mean to the characters? Why do you think Four Eyes gave Luo and the narrator this book versus any of the other Western books in his possession? How does this book significant to the meaning of the novel?
Well i don't understand what it means to them really the book was about love right?
You see i don't think four-Eyes meant at all in any point to intentionally give them that certain book i think he just gave them a random book but then maybe he did intentionally give Luo that book for he saw Luo falling in love with The Little Seamstress.
Well the meaning of the novel i think is to show how in all this hardship and struggles of the Cultural Revolution and being sent into woods to learn from others. Then so like the book shows that you can find love and the book Luo and the narrator received showed love and passion so in all this life of struggle someone is bound to find love.
I may be wrong about my thoughts it may be scattered words but it has a meaning somethings you cant explain like the love Luo has for The Little Seamstress and the Narrator cant explain the feeling of jealousy in his stomach.
So what i am saying is is that Luo has found love in a world were its hardship and things you cant explain.

Part 2, Chapter 1-2 Response
Part 2, Chapter 1-2,
This chapter was different like i don't know I was able to read I faster and it was very interesting.
Like in Chapter one of Part2 i liked how Luo and the narrator help Four-Eyes out with his work and he rewarded them with a book.
I also thought it was awkward how like Luo and the narrator like kept guessing which book Luo had and it was like the came up with a library of names.
The book boys received was called Balzac and it was about love and passion i believe and Luo read it in one night.
In Chapter Luo went to visit The Little Seamstress and Luo was gone for a while he didnt return till 3 am.
The narrator felt jealousy because Luo was with The Little Seamstress telling her stories.
When Luo returned he showed the narrator a piece of cloth and inside it was bloody leaves.
Luo told the narrator about him taking her virginity and i thought it was weird and nasty that he kept the leaves but then i found it amazing how he and The Little Seamstress made love so soon when the barely know each other.
From the first time Luo and The Little Seamstress eyes connect Luo has been in love and its like amazing.
In teen lives this story relates a lot teens fall in love at first sight and it was like i could relate this book a lot and i love how the story is written its awesome.

Story Telling
Well i believe we don't have much story tellers left in this world because like we have turned to books and movies and plays but those are consider story tellers too its just its not like how it used to be because like story telling does still exist formally through like parents and grandparents and librarians.
And like its because of technology advancements we don't listen to stories unless its on the news and such and like when someone like a grandparent tells you a story than its most likely true because he or she may have been there but when we watch movies the producer add and erase things to make the story either greater or worse than it is so what you see is what you believe because you can never get the true story unless you hear it from the person it happened to or you were their so basically theres like barely any story tellers left cause like when i was in elementary our teacher would read to us and she was story telling and i haven't seen that since i was in elementary.
And i Wish we still had story tellers around because like i think it would be eiasier to understand someones perspective if you talked to them instead or reading their diaries and thing’s.
Wouldn't you like to have that?

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress-reaction after a few pages
I am definately likeing this book so far aight.
See I didnt know were chapter one ended at so i kept reading on the i kinda figured out were the chapters enede and started at.
I love the comedy and the art that is in it i like how the book some times talks to the read well it seems to me like there talking to me.
This book is very detailed when i read the part about lou dad i honestly felt like crying cause thats said to see your dad be abused and accused like that is stupid and i thought it was stupid how back then when the CR was happening how EVERY PERSON was being beaten or whatever no matter what there level of leadership is in the community.
i found it interesting how the people in the village that lou and his bestfriend are living in (they never said his name yet thats wierd).
The community there's staying in is different because they had never seen a violin or an alarm clock its like there living in a different time zone.
Then i like the part where lou and his friend start setting the clock back because they are either tired of something and if the want to get up and work earlier they set the time forward which is quiet funny because no one want's to start work earlier.
I also like this book for the reason that to me it seems like a journal a teenager might write because it kinda relates to how i write and thats awesome because i understand it much easier.
So far i like this Book alot and i look forward to reading more of it.
