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
