1. I think the end was very uncool. The reason I think that is because it just leaves you hanging thinking, "what"? I also think that she should have continued it so you could see Ko's reaction to finally seeing her big brother after so long. I also wanted to see how hideyo took it that their mother was dead.I think that she ended the book right their for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons I think is because she thought it was too hard for her to explain how Hideyo took it that his mother had died.
2.I think they still use some of the traditions for a couple reasons.I think that they still use certain traditions because some of them make life more bearable and easy. also I think they are trying to act a bit normal and shroud the fact that they are barely able to live.
3.I think Mr.Niade is the coolest. The reason i think he's the coolest is because he has the ability to not listen to what other people say about him. I also respect that he keeps his ground when people are mean to him because of his stuttering. The reason i think he's the coolest for is because he can still live his life with the stuttering and be freinds with someone even though he has a stuttering problem and thats wy i think he's the coolest.
4.I learned during the book how the Japanese were really treated in korea after the war. The most important thing I have learned is that no matter how bad things seem for you, you will never ever have it as bad as yoko did.
5.I learned that people can really be carles. I also learned that every person will have to go though somthing bad in their life like when a parent dies or somthing like that.
