 * Sookan is a 11 years and she is a Korean child. She is in North Korea and Japan, at the time, took over Korea. Sookan and her family were trying to cross underneath the 38th parallel to South Korea. She has faced alot of problems trying to get over to South Korea. She loves her family so much and wants to be free from the control of North Korea.

Johnny Cade is 16 years old and is a greaser. He is made fun of because he does not have money like the soc's. He loves his family, but his dad abuses him. He knows that his dad still loves him because he beats him. He is facing a lot of problems to, like the soc's and jail. He wants to be just a normal kid that can go to school.

So they are very alike because they both face problems, but for different reasons. They both love their family. Both of them are looking for freedom, but one from control and the other from family and soc's. ||
 * Evaluation: The Year of Impossible Goodbyes was a book about Korea. The main summary to this is that a family was trying to find a way out of North Korea and into South Korea. They would cross the 38th parallel to get to the other side. The main character is Sookan, an 11 year old girl, that narrates the story. Japan had taken over North Korea and were forced to speak in Japanese. They could not speak in Korean or be learn about Korea anymore.

I liked this book because it shows a little of history and a girl striving for freedom. I liked how the author painted a picture in my head. Especially when included about Inchun crying all the time for his mom. I loved how everything was very detailed and i wasn't confused at any part.

I didn't like it when in the book their family was separated and the Inchun and Sookan had to go by themselves. I can kind of relate to Inchun because if i were to be without my mom for a while I would cry too.

Other than that i really like this book. It was a wonderful story about the history of Korea. I did not know all this, but now I do. It goes into great detail and can really make you feel as if u were apart of the book. || Type in the content of your page here.
