In the book the Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Jiang, the most memorable part of the story for me was when the main character was thinking of ending her life. The book states, "As I trembled down the stairs with Grandma, a thought came to me for the first time in my life. Should I continue to live at all?" This quote is explaining that the main character is so sad and devastated that she is thinking of committing suicide. She was forced to feel this because her house was searched by the Red Guard Committee, they took all of their belongings and furniture. She also was feeling this way because the government forced her parents and grandmother to do shameful hard labor. All of this horrible things made the main character, Ji-li, think to commit suicide.
