For this section
of the book, I was excited to see the energy from Peter. As we talked about in class, running was
something that he loved to do, aside from teaching. It is common for people to have a passion
outside of their profession. I am glad
Pete didn’t hold back and won the race.
It showed his ambition. It was
nice to see him succeed in something in China.
He has been struggling with the new culture and learning the language so
when this race came along I was excited to see what his reaction was going to
be. I also think it was a great
situation to let go of the stress he had built up. It definitely cleared his mind and helped his
attitude. The reactions from the local
Chinese people were angry and ashamed that someone from China did not win. From previous knowledge, it is known that
Chinese people train very hard for their sports, for example, the
Olympics. With that in mind, I was not
surprised at the reaction the locals gave the new reporter.
