Raise The Red Lantern, Su Tong. Qtr. 2, Cycle 10 Reading Response Pages 1-15

            In the beginning section of this book, a young girl named Lotus is arriving at Master Chen Zuoquian. Lotus was forced to marry Chen Zuoquian after her father committed suicide and she had no one to take care of her. Lotus is still very young, only 19 years old and having spent only 1 year in college. She arrives at the Chen household and soon learns that it is not as easy as it seems being married to a rich master who also happens to have 3 other wives.

            The author used the six traits good in this section like voice to easily describe the emotions of Lotus and the other women when she arrives to the house. The author uses her ideas and sentence fluency to smoothly write out the story in a way that makes sense from arrival of Lotus to her meeting everyone of the wives and children. She organizes her word choice to make sense and uses descriptive words to tell the story better.

            The author has structured this part of the book as an introduction to the story and introducing all the character of the story which is all the family members of the Chen household and Lotus. The author organizes it in order of time from the time Lotus arrives at the Chen house for the first time to the time she meets all the family  members in order of wives number like 1^st wife then the 2^nd wife and then the 3^rd. this helps to make the story flow more smoothly and helps us to focus better on the main events of the story to keep track of whats going on with Lotus.
