Red Scarf Girl Prompt 1

     In the book Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Jiang, the writer captures my attention by telling me a lot about the main character, named Ji-li. The book states, " I was born on Chinese New Year". (pg.1) This quote was the first sentence in the book, so it is getting right to the point on who Ji-Li is. The second sentence of the book says, " Carefully, my parents chose my name: Ji-li, meaning lucky and beautiful." (pg.1) This sentence is explaining a little bit about her. This caught my attention because I thought it was interesting that Ji-li's name meant lucky and beautiful. The author captured my attention because she started off by telling me a lot of information about the main character.
