Nonfiction reading response

According to the article "The Tianamen Square Protest" by Veronica Majeroi and Merrill Perlman, the biggest pro-democracy in Chinas history was held within the year of 1989. Thousand of prople were killed after peacefully protesting on the streets of China. These were grad students, either shot or mowed down by the armys tanks. 
One of the main people envolved with thos protest was Shao Jiang. Three of Shaos friends were killed during they're  protest. "Shao spent two months in hising before he was arrested by military police". Chinas government would not allow political reforms or greater personal freedom. Shao was forced to face 18 months in prison. The author wants the reader to see really how unfair the rules are in China. Thousands of people were killed because they wanted personal freedoms and poltical reforms.
After reading this article, I have come to understand that Chinas president at the time was probably veryunreasonable. They killed thousands of protested when better procautions could of been held. This article has also made me appreciate the amount of freedom we have here in America.

The Lovely Bones

    In the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, I felt myself resisting a lot because, there are a lot emotions and intense scenes in this book. In the book it gets straight to the explict parts within the first few pages of the book
    On page 12, Mr. Harvey (The old man that lives on her block that eventually rapes and kills Susie) tells Susie, "take off your clothes... I need to check if your a virgin... Your parents will thank me for this". 
    The whole book is mostly based off Susies perspective and Susies thoughts. Susie watching her family mostly but also other people. While Susie is in heaven there is this part that she sees her father telling  her little sister that they found something they believe to belong to Susie. An elbow. Her sister then throws up and you can sort of feel her pain... You can sort of see how they really care for Susie.
