I have showed my respect for him and because of it I Have higher class status. I have a good education, I don't need to work as much, and get to be a part in Activities, like being elected for the Red guard Committee on pg.166. Being elected showed my Honor for our chairman, I even led the morning Benediction on pg. 166 as well. Without him I wouldn't have been at school and working more probably, I still work like when I left school early on pg.172 to make dinner but I think we some work to do, if we didn't we would be bourgeoisie.

She wonders why I don't stay with him, so I try to teach her that our chair man is first instead of family. Later after that emotional time I find out on pg. 232 that she wanted to go to the factories for the summer instead of the rice fields becuase she wants t be with family.
