This story's about a girl called Sun-hee and a boy called Tae-yul. In the story, Korea is invaded by Japan. This is about how cruel the Japanese were when they were in control. Sun-hee and Tae-yul writes about their point of view in what it's happening. Japanese are trying to take away everything from Koreans, but they think that they are helping Korea! The Great Emperor! Yeah, as if! They could at least be honest! They could of said, "We are taking your names to make you suffer!" I hope the story ends with, "The Japanese failed the war and all died." What a happy ending. Anyways the setting is when the Japanese were controlling Korea with weird and perthatic rules, but Koreans does not allow them to take their identity! The book, although it's a fiction, tells us how painful it was to be under Japanese rule. I can feel the pain that people had. When I reading this book, I really really really wanted to see Japan sink (Is this mean?).
I think this is the best historical fiction I'd ever read.

Dear Soo Min,
Your feelings, though understandable, are not reasonable. Atrocities were committed on both sides. For your next IR/AR book, I'd really like you to read So Far From the Bamboo Grove. I'd like you to compare these two very different perspectives about the same period in history. Neither are completely right, but neither are completely wrong.
Don't forget to add another post this weekend. Also, please FOCUS on ONE of the following: plot, setting, characterization, or theme.
