Remember to USE page numbers and POST these questions on your blog. Lawyers, use this document to create cross-examination questions. Two per character should be sufficient.

Character:Teacher Zhang, Chairman Jin Kazama. Student Name: Aiman Q.

1. Question: Do you support Chairman Mao?

Answer: Yes I do, because on page 160-161, I said the class would learn about Chairman Mao by his works,and his quotes in English. Also, on page 224 to 225, I tried to convert Ji-Li with Chairman Gin adn Thin face to become a Mao's child.

2. Question: Will you teach the students equally? Even the black whelps?

Answer: Yes, because on page 198, I said this to Ji-Li (Who is a black whelp) to try make her into one of Mao's people. "We cannot choose our families or our class status. But we can choose our own futures. No,you are not a leader,but you are still an -educable child-. You can overcome your family background, you have self-esteem, and you always try to excel. That's why I believe you are brave enough to face and eventually overcome the difficulties of life"

3. Question: What do you feel about the exhibition?

Answer: I felt that I am really one of Mao's men by making the exhibition about his teachings. On page 221, I said this to Ji-Li. This exhibition is really a powerful weapon, and if appropiately used, it can strengthen class identification and deepen the hatred of class enemies. I did also want her to put Chairman mao's rightful qoutes to make it connected to Mao.

4. Question: Do you try to convert black whelps into Mao's people?

Answer: Yes I do. I tried to convert Ji-Li with Teacher Zhang and Thin-face on page 224 through page 225.
