-Sook Nyul Choi ** ||  || Evaluation: //The Year of Imposible Goodbyes// is a grat book that teaches many many lessons. It is about a 10 year old girl that lives in Korea under the Japanese. They strugle day after day with tons of work at the shoe factory and they only get a handful of rice to eat. One day when it is Kisa's birthday they desided to eat the saved food and celebrate for once before Captain Narita does his daily check-up. Just as they were about to clean up Captain Narita came and caught them. He said theat they would be punished. The next day Capatain Narita's servants came and chopped of grandfather's tree which made him sad, and the next day he died. Soon the war ended and now Russia took over. They made them attend meetings and work all day. They provided food for them too, but now they had created the DMZ and devided North and South Korea. Suddenly everyone wanted to escape to the South, but Sookan and her family were waiting on her dad and older brothers to return from Manchuria, where they worked for the Korean independance movement. After about an year of waiting,still no sign...........  Until one day Kisa came and said that he saw Sookans dad and that he will transport thrm to South Korea, but they have to be ready anytime and cannot take anything with them. After a couple of days an old man came to help them get through the border. || Peace, War, Scholar, Respect , Traditions ||  || Character: The character that I think relates most to Sookan is Koly, a young girl who is from India and is married to a husband that her parents chose for her she sees him for the first time at their wedding. He is much younger than her and is very sick, which is the reason why his parents wanted him to get married, (so they can get money to go to Varanasi) After Koly marries him she is not able to return home to her parents so she has to learn to live with them. After they visit the holy city and he bathes in the Ganges River he feels better,but not for long. After a couple of days he dies and now Koly is a widow. She thinks that her life has ended and there is nothing she has to look forward to. She has to do many chores around the house and rarely has anytime for herself...Until one day her sassur dies and now her sass is also a widow. So her sass desides to go to the village and live with her brother on her way there she leaves Koly alone in a city where is has never been before. And gets taken in a widows house, and works. At the same time she meets a young boy who has a house in the village and they fall in love. So they deside to marry and live together in the village........................The way that Koly and Sookan are related is because they both strugle while they loose a family member and have to deal with tough situations. They both feels sad,alone, and lost. They have to work hard and earn very little,but in the end everything turns out great for both of them.I realy enjoyed both books because they both had a fun way of writind a story,but at the same time teaching a lesson. I am so glad that I read both books in a differant class but was able to make a connection between both books. || [|North Korea] [|Korea's Colonial Period] [|Everything about North Korea] [|Japan] ||  || Bibliography: North Korea Facts ,Monday May,10,2010 [] ,Coolnial Period Monday May,10,2010 [] North Korea Tuesday May 11, 2010 [] Japan Tuesday May 11, 2010 [] ||
