Henry and the Dragon Kite-The Rivalry

I really have to say sorry first. I was too exhausted this week and ended up going to bed early without getting up on time-and I couldn't believe that I didn't post in time!

I don't know if you know anything about the art of kites in Chinese culture. It was first made to send top secret letter in wars (Of course it had no string at first). But it soon became a kind of beautiful toy that combined physically brilliant disign and carry the most detailed, luxurious painting.

As for the book, I think the rivalry is not only between children came from different area but between people who neglect others' perspectives when they are too eager to protect what they love. It happens everyday, sometimes it turns out hurting every one, but sometimes, just like the story, people understand each other when one person starts to try to be in the other's shoes.





My answer to the Qs:


When did the kids from Chinatown begin to understand Tony’s perspective?

I guess that was since Tony started to behave like someone else, who wasn't mean at all and care about what he loved.



Why do you think this author wanted to write a story about kids for other kids to read?

In reality, not every arguement has a happy ending. Teach children as early as possible to avoid these fights.



What message does this story have for you about decisions you will make in your life ?

Violence is never a good solution. Before being angry about someone or something, I will think throughly if there's anything causes me think with prejudice.
