november reading challenge

this book shows the issue of poverty. it really made me think about what i have, and what i need. this book really touched me because it also made me think about all of those kids living in extreme poverty. this book made me think about that because of the main character. frank, and his dad and his brothers. it was so sad and i strongly recommend it to any one who hasn't read it yet.

this book is about how, a girl, Sun-Hee, and her brother Tae-Yul, and how they're stuck in a war because the Japanese took over Korea. Since They live in Korea, the Japanese are constantly going and taking their things such as; their rice, their warm coats in the winter, their jewelry, and their sons so that they can help japan in the war.

this book demonstrates many social action issues such as; racism, sexism and others too. but one that really caught my eye was sexism. there were problems in the house hold, and the men had to discuss matters privately. the women never got to know anything. and it also shows that there were a lot of people that think that men are the superior sex.
