Lu's essay response!

I think that Lu grew up a very smart yet confussed girl. She was taught by her parents that it was okay to speak many different languages but when she was out in public she had to only speak chinese. If she was to speak english she would be looked down upon in her society. I believe that her parents in the long run believed that they were doing the best for their daugther by teaching her many languages but living in Communist China it could be difficult for a child as it was for Lu. Over all Lu stayed strong and was able to over come her battles with reading and writing and now she is able to tell her story to many people in present day America.
