Henry and the kite Dragon........

one thing a thought was bad was when Tony and his friends ripped and shredded all the other kites. THey could have just talked to them and said that is my homing pigeon - please stop. But they had to throw rocks and make them mad. The reason I think the kids from Chinatown began to repsect Tony's prespective becasue if they were him they would want him to stop too. When they launched all those kites, they were really trying to say, "Stop" because if I kept going over and over again I wouldn't see that they wanted to stop and if Tony knew where Grandfather Chin lived he could go up there and say this is my pigeon and they could put something up there to show it was his pigeion. Even if there were no pigeons the people in Chinatown the kids and grandfather Chin shouldn't be chasing any kinds of bird becasue you could actually scare the bird to death.
I think that the other thing they learned from Grandfaher was to respect different people and to go talk to them and see if everything is OK. I think when Tony cries it shows another side of him because everyone is afraid of him but he is only protecting his pigeons. WHen he begins to cry in front of the kids I think the kids saw the sensitive side of him too. when Grandfather Chin says "Eneryone respects dragons" he was wrong because when Tony and his friends started throwing rocks it shows they don't know anything about Chinese culture and you can't put all the balme on them because they don't know anything about the Chinese culture and they don't know that the dragons are sacred. In the part when Tony cries instead of getting angry that really surpirsed me because everyone thinks he a big bad monstor thing and when he cries it shows that inside he is just a pup. The reason I think that the author wanted to write stories for kids to kids is because when you write books for kids it can be true or not ture stories when you write those stories and you have some of those kids in your town you can start reading and learning more about kids in those other countries. when all the kids were is the park it was a SMART ideia for Grandfather Chin to lanuch the dragon kite, it got the kids disteracted so the chineses kids couldn't start the fight.
