1) i think Yoko wants to help Mr.Naido because she is going through the same thing as him, with all the teasing and stuff. I think that he helps her because he thinks she's a nice girl and is not spoiled like all the other girls. They both are getting teased by the girls.

2)I think when Yoko found out that Ko was shining shoes, she realized that Ko really cares about Yoko and wants to do whatever she can to help her.
Her attitude changed and now she's a girl who will do whatever she can to take care of her sister.

3)Why do you think Ko picked shoes shining over all the other jobs that makes more money?

i think that Ko picked that job because it makes a little money but at the same time she can go home and take care of Yoko anytime she wants, instead of other jobs that don't let you go home until a certain time.

1)i think Ko, Yoko and their mom felt really sad but at the same time they felt happy. They feel sad because they were supposed to wait for Hedeo, but they couldn't because they were afraid of the Korean communist's, so they decided to leave for japan. They were happy because they were going back to their homeland and if i was going back to my homeland after a war, i would be extremely happy. Ko and her mother were crying on the boat for two reasons, the first reason is that they felt ashamed that they are leaving Hedeo in Korea, and the second reason is that they felt happy to go home.

B) i agree with their decision because in a few days the Korean communist would be after them. I would do that if i was in that position.

2)Do you think Hedeo would be mad at his family for leaving him behind?

I think he wouldn't and would of done the same thing in that position.

1) Hideo is a teenager who shows a little bit of courage, like when he was leading his friends away from the gun factory and he stood up to the two German soldiers and actually lied to them. sometimes he isn't courageous but smart, like when the Korean communist soldiers went in to the factory. Hideo hid in a box, that sounds like a wimpy thing to do but it was smart because if he stood up and shot at the Korean communist, he would of got killed like his friend.

2) i would bring

20 pounds of water

some food in a back pack or a pouch

cloths

a nife

as much money as i can find.

3) The event when Hideo and his friends get home and find no one there, and they all started crying.
