I started a new book, which is called "Finding God at Harvard" .The book mainly talks about how the author confirm his faith at Harvard University. He uses several other person's essay to start each chapter. Such as Rebecca Baer Porteous, Robert Coles, and Todd Lake ect..In chapter one it talks about how the author choose to be a pastor instead of a lawyer. Second chapter the author shares the way he believe the Bible is the original writing. In third chapter it mainly shares about how the author finds Jesus in the history.

Is your book meaning the expectations you have for it before you read it ?
Before I read the book, I expected that the book would talk about something involved communism, and it would talk about how bad is communism. However, while I was reading the book, I found out the book only take about personal staff. I did not expected that the author would put Chinese into the story either. In the book, writer Gish Jing, She used lots of Chinese old saying in the book. The book is actually funnier than I thought.

Antagoninst
The Antagonist in the book is the father. Yifng's father is an extrem conservatist. He thinks one generation pure, the next good for nothing. He strongly believes that he is son's idea to be successful is totally imagenation. Top ten in the class is not good enough for him. In his mind being first is the philosophy to success. He does not let his son date any girls until Yifeng gets his dipolima. He never listen to his wife's idea. He writes degeneracy, stupitity, and corruption to his son. The father, the ex- gorvernor, is a high self-centered people in my eyes.

Twist
SO far I want to twist the son and the father those two characters around in this story. In the story the son's idea to be successful is different as the father. They have different points of view to success. The father thinks his son knows nothing but eating and sleeping. The son , Yifeng , could not understand his father, a ex-governor. If I can twist these two characters around, I think it would be a much funnier story to read. The father maybe can understand his son's thoughts.
