__**//Connector Role Sheet:// (Alex Chapters 1-5)** Text 2 Self:__ In chapter three Da was acused of being a counterevolutionary in order to prevent him from receiving an education. When asked to confess Da answered as truthfully as possible. He had done nothing wrong but no one would listen to him, no one would listen because Da was a landlords grandson. In my own home i have been accused by my parents for taking something that didn't belong to me or destroying something that i didn't destroy. In reality it was my younger siblings that my parents believed were too innocent to do anything wrong and i would be punished for their actions. In this example I can relate to Da Chen.

__Text 2 World:__ In the real world the events and history described in "Colors Of The Mountain" are not far fetched. Communism and the brutality and prejudice expressed towards those who were part of the unjust government like the Chens is very real. Mao Zendong was a cruel and unjust dictator that intorduced communism to China and forced oppression onto the the leaders of the previous government (landlords.) Prejudice towards all cultures and races is not uncommon in todays present society. For hundreds of years African Americans in the United States were oppressed due to the color of their skin. In this example "Colors Of The Mountain" can relate to the world.
