I suffered many years hearing about deaths, being teased by the Japenese, famine, and pain. I have lost many people close to the heart and it is all becuse of the Japenese. I have had many friendships but some don't last. Like with Unhi and her family, she was so kind to me when i was in Japenese school;I thank god that she was there for me because I was beat repeatedly there. She was too kind and I thank her. I was expeled from that school for clapping when a boy said some bad things about the Japenese, i was glad of it. After that, I stayed home and took care of mother; she became extremely ill. It scared me so to lose someone again, it leaves aches in my heart that never go away. My life was painful and I know someone that can relate.

Ponyboy has been through poverty, loses, and pain. He has been in poverty on the streets in U.S.A. He has also lost many people in his life, like Johnny, Dalas,and his parents. The pain he has been through with deaths and torture from the Socs. || I really enjoyed this book! Why? Well, because the main character, Sookan, is from North Korea during communism. She explains the pain she has been through under the control of the Japenese; She has been teased and tortured by the Japenese. I admire how she stays strong for her family. She has showed me to stay strong and hope for something. I love the ending when Sookan and Inchun, her little brother, crossed the 38th parallel. She made it to South Korea and found out her mother wasn't there after she was taken away but months after, her mother made it to the house. I loved this book because Sookan told her story of communism, where there was adventure, pain, sadness, and deaths. ||
