bamboo grove final

1. I thought the end wasn't all that good and I think it should have been explained more on what happened to the father and ko.What happens after that. Why didn’t she go in detail more about what happens after?
2. It think that they did there traditions for a couple reasons. Because that was there new home they were probably thinking that they should try then to. I think in that position my family would have done the same because we work hard for our money and use it for the important stuff first like food even though I wish it just grew on tress and I could just by junk with it.
3. I respect all of the charters but the one who I just really respect is Mr.Niado. I respected him allot because even though people may mess with him because of his stutter it doesn’t affect him making friends with someone he will listen to what he says. I also respect him because he is a kind person like when little one needed the pencils and paper he said I will give you some if you follow me to the fernessroom.
4. In this novel I learned that the U.S.S.R.were big chickens well at least acted like one's because they declared war on Japan. Japan had been weakened drastically by the atomic bombs dropped by the United States. I also learned that they bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima because they are big cities and they did not bomb Kyoto because that city has allot of there culture there.
5. Well the kawashima family did allot of sharing even though they didn’t have much to offer and I hope that more people are more like that. Also the world isn’t all good like when that solider killed his own man in front of his other men when they got though robbing the civilians.

1.  I think Yoko wants to help Mr. Naido cause  both of them are and seem alike. Yoko helps Mr. Naido with his speech/stuttering and in return sorta  he saves papers, pencils and erasers to help her and her family. also because he was the only person who was nice o her and he is here only friend sorta. her father did the same thing for a person who stuttered and is sorta following in her footsteps.

2. i think She realizes that ko wasn't doing anything for school she is trying to make more money to buy something cool  for little one/yoko for the New Year. This shows yoko that ko is a nice and caring sister because she would go out of here way to get good food ad make her sisters life that much better. 

3.  ummmmmmmmm.. how did you reacted when you read that there mother had died???????????? how did you reacted??

1. I think the kawashimas had to leave Korea because the Korean Communist were killing all the Japanese peoples. if i was Japanese that would be a good enough reason for me to leave. another reason is because allot of women and little girls were being raped and there brother and dad weren't with them just three girls walking but lucky for them they have a sword.

2. i agree with them i would have left to. if they wouldn't have left when they did they might not have had a chance to go to japan or they could have been killed. also i think hideo understands why they left and he knows that the 3 of them could easily protect them self and its easier him finding them then them waiting at home 4 him to return from the factory.

3. so umm how would you feel if you had  to leave one of ure family members behind knowing a war was going on and killing all the people of your race??? how would you feel if it was you that was left???

1.I think Hideyo thinks of himself as a man that thinks he can do what he wants or make a living without any help. At times he can be  say stuff or do something and say stuff he don't really mean or be a bit stubborn.for a example when he wants to  join the army  he doesn't realize that it could vary well lead to a injury or death. 

2. first i would get my football bag because its a big bag and i would put a sweat shirt and 2 pares of closes in it. then i would get some food items that wont spoil or go bad i would also get my money (i don't know why). my cell phone a blanket a flashlight with spare batteries Nintendo ds cant get bored have to have something to do. i would bring these items because i cant live without them except maybe he ds......nope couldn't live without video games.

3. So far I think that the most shocking and also the most mest up part is when Koreans attacked the Ammunition's factory were Hideyo was working. I thought it was because it's really not cool to just shoot and kill many people who are trying to defend themselves. also how hideyo's friends were in the bathroom stall when it happened and they blew up the factory when the were done killing every one. Its a good thing that hideyo got out when he did other wise he could be dead.
