Setting - Red Scarf Girl
In the setting of "Red Scarf Girl," the main character is Jiang Ji-Li. She is around 11~13 years old when the Cultural Revolution takes place in 1966. She lives in China, Shanghai, and she is part of a pretty well-off family, so they live in a relatively pleasant neighborhood. She attends a public school close to her home : Xin Er Primary. This setting is the main setting in this book. The only time that the setting changes place is when Ji Li has to go to the countryside to work for Chairman Mao. This is the time of her life which she has to go through so much physical suffering. This book is based on the setting of the Cultural Revolution. Without a setting for this book, I wouldn't be reading it.

Nicely done describing the setting!
You have described the setting so well that you make me want to read
it! I think the setting of your book is very interesting! I do
not know much about China so I would like to read your book later on, to learn about China! It is cool how your setting takes place mostly at one place, because most stories have many changes of where the story occurs at. Lastly, I agree with your last line! I think without settings, I would not be reading my book either!
loveyaaa yoonjeng <3
