I think it's interesting how the author had to change most people's names for there privacy. I also think is obvious how much his brother loves him by his reaction when he was leaving and how sad they both were at the beginning of the book.

In chapter 17 I found it so heroic and funny how Peng and the Cellist had saved Da's life because they saw that his crap was black. Even though Peng or the cellist had never interacted with Da before they still saved him by giving him the medicine to stop the internal bleeding which I thought was very heroic.

After reading that Bo killed himself I was very sad and very upset at how the school treated the situation like he deserved to die. I found it appalling how awful the schools reaction to it was and how they didn't even think on what had made him kill himself. I also always enjoyed Bo character just because he dreamed big and his energy was mostly positive and that's why i found it sad.

Chapter thirteen begins with Da Chen referencing the situation of China at the time, comparing a dog's litters fighting over milk to what's happening in China's where Chinese people fight each other and stab others in the back to the road of success in a world of continuous work and the author make sure we were aware of this even in the peaceful village of Yellowstone.

The book is very enjoyable and how the author has interacted with other characters in the book it enjoyable because the author is very much a country person to heart and he has to interact with people who have lives in the big city since they were born and the differences between them is interesting.

The book starts with the author getting a train in china to attend college in Beijing. He met an interpreter who has gone to the Asian games and I feel like he could be the role model for Chen in this story. The author's pride for china is shown when he first arrives in Beijing and sees the Chinese flag waving in the wind.
