Fourth Post - When My Name was Keoko

There are two main character in this book. These two main characters are Sun-Hee and Tae-Yul. There are more characters, who are related to Tae-Yul and Sun-Hee, which are Uncle, Mother, Father, Mrs. Ahn, and Tae-Yul and Sun-Hee's friends. Sun-Hee and Tae-Yul talks about their point of view in different events that occured to them. Uncle disappears when the story is about to start. He runs away from the Japanese because Sun-Hee tells him that they're looking for him, which was a mistake. Tae-Yul, later on the story, goes to an army to help his family and to rescue his uncle. Sun-Hee, not like Tae-Yul, stays home and doesn't do anything. In the story, I think Tae-Yul and Uncle is really brave, but Sun-Hee and her father isn't. They just stay at home doing nothing, but obeying the Japanese. Their mother, I think, is brave is well because in the story she hides the Sharon Tree, although she knew that she was going to get punished if the Japanese found out. Mrs. Ahn is one of their neighbour, who cannot speak Japanese. When they did the account, Mrs. Ahn spoke Korean and the soldiers half killed her. Although she got whipped by the Japanese, Mrs. Ahn didn't allow Sun-Hee to teach her more than five numbers. She said it was because she wouldn't allow them to have another hand, but only her five fingers. That was really touching. By reading this, I think Mrs. Ahn is another brave character. Later on, Sun-Hee finds out that Mrs. Ahn hid resistence workers when the Japanese were looking for them, I was really surprised. The most courgeous character in this book, I think, is either Uncle or Tae-Yul. Uncle worked for resistence and Tae-Yul went to the army to help his family. I think the characters make the book more interesting.
