"MLA Citations". May 14, 2010 <[]>. ||  Sookan(Year of Impossible Goodbyes) & Ji- Li(Red Scarf Girl) have some things that are similar to each other. They both experience poverty and they get tortured or punished(sometimes). They have to work a lot and they get paid less and get a small amount of food. Also, one of their family members passed away, as well as other similarities.

Year of Impossible Goodbyes is based on Sookan. She is a young South Korean girl who lives with most of her family. She has to go through lots of hard times like poverty, shortage of food, tones of work, and family loss. To me, the book was very interesting since it was in first person point of view from the narrator Sookan; that way you can easily understand what she is saying. But sometimes the book got boring if it kept repeating the same problem all the time; sometimes the words were hard to understand. But overall, it was an okay book.
