responding to 250-275

Peter Hessler has quite a bit to say about money in this section, describing the Chinese attitude toward money as something distinct maybe from American attitudes, as well as describing his own attitude toward money in the particular context of his life as a Peace Corps worker. 

Summarize the important points PH is making about the Chinese relationship to money, citing specific examples he uses. Also explain very briefly his own situation regarding money. 

Then, explain your own current feeling about money, as well as the prevailing attitude toward money in the culture you grew up with, considering both near-in culture and larger culture in this. Compare all of this to the prevailing Chinese feeling about money that Hessler describes.
