Compare and contrast the overall impression you get of the Boxer Crisis from the textbook section dealing with it
Q1: Compare and contrast the overall impression you get of the Boxer Crisis from the textbook section dealing with it, the graphic novel dealing with it, and either its portrayal in one of the documentaries or feature film segments we saw for the course OR the ideas you had about the event before the class began (e.g., how you thought about it growing up or how it was taught in another class you took, perhaps in high school). Please include some general comparisons and contrasts but also bring up a couple of very specific similarities or differences between texts that you find especially interesting.
Q2: The Opium War, The 1911 Revolution, the May 4th Movement of 1919, and the 1949 Revolution. Write a short essay on why two of these events seem to you as marking more important turning points in the history of modern China and two of them that seem to mark significant but less important turning points in the history of modern China. Did the textbook convince you to make the choices you did, or was it other material from the class?
