For me I feel that China is a very modern and up to date
culture that tries to continue to maintain the old ways of China. I feel that
most of the citizens of China try to stay with what their culture was built
upon in the ancient times even though China wants new and better things as the
days come and go. I also feel that a lot of the younger generations of China
really try to become someone else, the reason I say that is because in Last Train Home the main girl doesn’t
want to stay in the country working, she wants to go out and party and have fun
in the city. Her parents try to keep her in the country but I know from being a
teenager if my parents did that I would get upset but I would never want to
leave home but I feel like for teenagers in China they would feel stuck and
wouldn’t know who they really were if they stayed home because of their
parents. So the teenagers in China end up leaving home and going into the city
to find a job and spend it on things they don’t need or our unnecessary.
When it comes to agreeing or disagreeing with Dodson…well I don’t
really agree with everything that he’s done. The book was very predictable and
boring and somewhat dry. I knew most of what Dodson wrote about from previous
history classes and from the news that my parents would talk about every
morning. Don’t get me wrong China creates wonderful, magnificent items that
they distribute to the public eye and they are one of the smartest students in
the world but they are a difficult country as I’ve stated before. Dodson did
his best to describe China but China is such a big country and there’s so much
that goes on that it’s difficult to put everything you know into 10 chapters of
a book.
