Pages 75-100

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.
