Final Post

1)I responded to the book by kinda getting mad because it left us hanging without letting us know about the dad. I didn't think it was satisfying because Hideyo just came over for Korea and finally met up with Yoko and Ko. The conflict of Hideyo being away from their family was resolved, also the problem of how they were going to survive with their mother dead and no cash. Because she wanted to let us know how dramatic it was to finally meet up with her brother again.

2)I think that the way the Japanese live by and their standards really are mellow and through out the story.They observe it by doing the traditional way that the Japanese by carrying their bags on their head so it looks like they are Japanese. I think they do this to teach Yoko how to act like a young woman when she becomes an adult because then she will be mellow and she will have it easy because she learned how to live on her own at a young age.My family doesn't really have rituals but if we got into a situation like this than I am sure that we all would pray every night.

3) The character that I admire the most int his story is Ko because no matter through out the whole story she kept a good attitude through out the whole story. She helped out the whole family no matter what happened. She also helped out when the hospital got attacked and she helped out the injured victims. She wanted the best for Yoko and their family.No matter what happened she helped out the whole family and she helped out whoever she met that got in trouble

4) I learned what days that the united states drop the atomic bomb which was on august 6 and 11 of 1945 on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. I also learned about the Korean Communist Army. I learned about some geographical sites like Nanam and Seoul.

5)I learned that you shouldn't take anything for granite because if you do karma will come back and bite you in the butt so don't take advantage of anything.Also you should make the time with your loved ones fun and try not to fight with them because when they are gone you will regret it

Op#4

1)I think yoko wants to help Mr. Nadio because he is a friend of yokos and he helped her out in her time of need. He helped her by giving her all of the supplies and paper. They both are picked on by other people because they way they act

2)I think that when she found out that ko's idea was to get money so they could have a new years feast. It was a turning point for her because she realized that it might be better than it seems like. Her attitude changed so that she is happy and trying to make things better than it already is.

3)Why do you think that their mother had one thousand yen in her seceret pocket.

My Answer:I think that she hade a feeling that something bad was going to happen on their escape for nanam so she brought money in case she died so that Ko and Yoko could survive with that money

OP#3

1)
A-They needed to leave the train station in Pusan because it just got way to outta control because the Koreans in the army where going crazy and trying to rape alot of the women at the train station.

B-I think that the decision to leave hydieo behind was a good one because if they stayed any longer then they probably would have got raped. Also Hydieo is very strong and I think he is going to survive and find them in japan.

2)Why do you think that hydeio took the clothes from the dead guy in the forest?

op#2

1) I think that hideio is very strong because he watched one of his friends die right in front of him and he didn't start to cry or get very upset with it. Also he shows courage by not giving up when he found out that his family had left him to go to Soeul.

2) I think I would bring food like lucky charms and I would jeans.Also I would bring my favorites volcom shirts and my skateboard. I would make sure taht my whole family made it out before I left.

3) I find that the didn't check in the stall for those three boys because that would of been the first place I would have looked in the bathroom. Also when Yasuo took a machine gun and started firing at the japanesse with a machine gun.
