Hao HW Reading

Before this reading I haven't heard of the Cultural Revolution. In this story it tells us about this family the radically changed because of this event. It also has this interesting change to the students having the power. Maybe this is to show how easily powers can shift. Also in the reading they would burn books and bury them. It is know that as long as you have Knowlage you can obtain anything. Being educated give you the voice you need to fight back. This is why I think the red gaurd want to persacute intellectuals. I think this story can be compared to what's happing now. In the short amount of time since both situations happen it escalated quickly and had many changes occur.
