Paper instructions: "Seventten years after the campaign of educated youths going to the countryside ended, many are still bitter about it. 'A big mistake,' they label the campaign that lasted more than a decade and involved twenty million young people. Or they say, 'A tremendous waste.' I agree with them. Yet I disagree. Lao Tzu, the ancient philosopher, says: 'Good fortune breeds disasters. Misfortune ushers in well-being.' Sometime after I came to America, my anger toward the campaign died down and I began to feel lucky that I had been to the countryside." Why does Rae Yang feel so ambivalent about the rustication campaign? What personal experiences have affected her attitude? What did she learn from her experiences in the Great Nothern Wilderness?
Paper also need an original title. Papers should be very carefully prepared in terms of both style and content. Make sure your formal presentation( spelling, grammer, punctuation, and construction of paragraphs) is correct. Be rigorously attentive to thr shaping of a clear, cogently argued and developed analysis. Use appropriate quotations in support of your analysis, and offer a conclusion that explores the importance of what you have written.
