Class Novel

     I really enjoyed the class novel "When My Name is Keoko" because the story line is very interesting and exhilirating . I love the way the story is told from two perspectives, I love it because I could see different opinions and feelings. I especially like it when Ms. Patrice read out loud to us because it was so funny and emotional. My favorite part of the story is when the war was over and Sun-hee gets to see an American for the first time. Her describtions are hilarious!! I'm very surprise how children in Korea back then never know what gum is or have never eaten grains, I could not imagine live without those things. I also pity Jung-shin because she did nothing wrong but was driven away from the town. The time I spend reading this novel with my class have shown me how harsh World War II is and that a lot of children are still living a miserable live like Sun-hee and Tae-yul or even worst.
