OP#1

1) I think that Yoko is very strong and also hard headed because she wants almost everything to go her way.You can tell she is hard headed because when her mom said she couldn't eat some dried fish she started to moan and groan. Also she is very strong because she went through all of the bloodiness of war and still helped out all of the patients.

2)They are good friends and sisters.They fight but almost all siblings fight.She calls her Honorable sister because she is so brave and she did a lot of stuff to help out the patients on the train.

3)I think they handled the situation very good because they helped them out even though the didn't have to.They also shared their blankets and Yoko shared her blanket with the preganet mother.Their character is very strong because it takes a strong person to help out others way more than you even when you are starving.

One of the characters name is Ruben wolfe.He is a kid who is going through a tough stage in his life.His family is losing money and having a hard time paying rent.He is like best friends with his little brother.When some stranger offers ruben a chance to fight for 50 bucks a fight he takes the offer.

I can relate to Ruben because i also have a little brother and it is some times hard to get along with him but i can survive with him.

One of the characters named Micheal Arroyo reminds me of a kid on my baseball team who can throw really fast.Something happened to where micheal can't play baseball anymore because his birth certificate is in his native Cuba.A part in the book that upsets me is when a kid on the other team gets mad because micheal struck him out,that just made me mad because you have to be a good sport about what you are doing.Also you shouldn't get mad that he struck you out but you should think that next time you are gonna get a big hit off of him.
