bamboo grove chap. 1-3

1.Yoko is an 11 year old girl, she is Japanese but currently living in Korea because the Japanese just took over Korea. Yoko is a character who listens to what anyone says and she i very polite too. Yoko is a person who wines about allot of things like there was a few quotes in the book saying "I'm hungry".

2.Yoko and Ko are sisters, they don't fight that much except when Yoko is wining about her hunger issues. Yoko and Ko are close sisters and Yoko looks up to Ko as a roll model, But sometimes calls her bossy because Ko bosses her around. Yoko calls Ko honorable sister because i think Yoko honors Ko but calls her bossy because she really is too bossy.

3. On the train, there was allot of hurt people. The kawashima family was surprised, The mother was wanting to help. Ko was just standing around doing nothing and Yoko was disgusted and didn't want to even get near the hurt body's. After a while Yoko realized that these people were normal people and still are normal people, and she shouldn't be disgusted.

1: I agree that Yoko whines a lot. I dont think she really gets whats going on but she is only 11. She does do some nice things like giving the lady who gave birth all her food.

2: I think Yoko respects her sister. Even if she is bossy sometimes, there is usually a reason for telling Yoko what to do.

3: That is TOTALLY true. I would not be afraid of these people just because they are hurt. They cant help it and its not something that Yoko should be scared by, and even if she is, she shouldnt display it.I also think Ko could do more, she doesnt do anything to help the people on the train.

1.)I agree with wade Yoko does wine alot. I kind of pictued her acting alot different conidering, she's 11. And during the book she sounds like shes 5-8 years old. But overall she seems like a nice girl.

2.) I agree with Wade sometimes people do have a very good reason for yelling at you and acting bossy, but that doesn't nessarily mean that shes not a good sister.

3.) I think that Ko really could have helped and maybe she thought that her self, but we all have things that we wish we could of changed. And you shouldn't be afraid of that may not be in the condistion your in.
