bamboo grove final OP

1. I think the end was very un-satisfying. The reason I think so 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 the mother had died. Also I think she left off there because that's the kind of affect she wanted to have when people read the book.

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 respect Mr.Niado the most. The reason i respect him the most 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 stutter. The reason I most respect him for is because he can still live his life with the stutter and be freinds with someone even though he has a stutter and him being able to get a job despite his dis-ability.

4.I learned during the book how the Japanese were really treated in korea after the war. Also that hurting someone over the governments choice is really bad. but i also think that using certain country's in the world shouldn't have been used as war pawns. 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 SHE DID!

5.I learned that Humans can really be cruel. I also learned that every person will have to go somthing bad in their life like when a parent dies or somthing. I learned that It is in human nature to want to be important and to SURVIVE.
