What I saw and observed with one of the chinese ghost stories is how my own perspective and view of how The Return of Yan Zhenjing impacted me in a new way. The main topic of this story for me is the battle between Zhenjing and Xilie and how their fight and confrontation interests me in a narrative point of view. What I found interesting was Zhenjing’s motivation and faith in the son of heaven along with fighting for heaven and earth while his opponent fought for rebels, thieves, and murderers with no belief in anything. I found it interesting on what they fought for and how they were going to attain their goals with completely different motives in mind. In my opinion I would only change how their goals would be accomplished and what would happen afterwards for the future along with the future of the story. From my point of view I would have personally wanted to see more of their backstories and what caused Zhenjing and Xilie to fight to where they are now. I would want to know more of the meaning behind it along with their thought process on their true intentions not only for their people and themselves but to the world. I would want to know how they would impact the world in a different way from my own perspective. Even though Zhenjing dies the son of heaven takes over and keeps fighting for his beliefs. I would want to know what the end goal would be and what would be accomplished when everything was said and done with their fights. In my perspective I would have routed for the side of heaven to win but I would want to see both perspectives of the story like a first person viewpoint of how they became who they are now and it shows more of the characters purpose in the long run.

One part of this story that I observed and analyzed was the topic of slavery essentially in this short story. I observed how slavery was needed in this story in order for the Tlic species to survive but in my opinon I feel like the terrans should have recieved something in return for thier services towards the Tlic. I also took away from my own experience with this story that the Tlic need a terran host in order to reproduce their own species and survive. What I found to be quite interesting was how this story depends on the dependecy of another species and the meaning behind that relates to slavery but also survival in my opinion. Furthermore, I found it to be saddening to see that one species...
