Chinese Cultural Revolution Photos

This is connected to Red Scarf Girl because they were destroying the Four Olds. They were destroying the Four Olds in front of Ji-Li. In the book the Red Guards destroy temples, books, signs, ect. And in this picture they are destroying a statue. The statue represents old culture. And by destroying this the are following Chairman Mao's wishes by taking out the old and bringing in the new. Also Ji-Li and her friends walked up and down the street and thought about new Revolutionary names to name the Four Olds stores. Ji-Li also was for the revolution towards the beginning but then she became afraid of fact that she has a bourgeois life style.  Some primary sources that have destroying the Four Olds is the poem that we read yesterday about a little boy becoming a Little Red Soldier. Or the article we read about Shanghai and Peking. In that article they talk about destroying the Four Old signs and replacing them with revolution names.  

GPA College Blog 2

 I discovered that my overall GPA for 9th grade so far is 3.732. I was a bit surprised that my GPA didn't move at all. I grades have just switched. I had a 88% if English last semester and now I have a 93% in English. And my math grade was the exact opposite. My math went from a 93% to an 88%. If i want to attend MIT i need a higher GPA. But i did keep my GPA over 3.5 but i didn't keep my standard or 3.75. I missed it .02. The reason i dont have a 4.0 is because i did very badly on one big test in math so that dropped my grade a lot. I don't really think that i would get into MIT because my GPA isnt as good as i would like it to be if im going to go to that school. So i would rather chose a easier school to get into and probably go with one of my friends. I would either go into Auburn University or chose a school closer to here. My next step would probably be keeping my grade the same or improving it. Like getting one more question right on a test. Or double checking my answers. Im gonna try to get at least a A- in my core classes for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. Since this is April already, im gonna try to raise my grade in math to at least 90% or higher.
