Pages-124-233
Hours read-3
1.Latley I think its been interesting because its great that Young had made it to America and that she didnt have to live through bad stuff she had before. So I felt really happy for Young that she made it and she didnt have to pass through all those bad things she had to go through so Youn must of felt excited when she got there;it must of felt great that she did leave Combodia because she wasnt having a good time most of the time so I feel great for her. :)
2.Well also felt kinda sad during the book because family her family memebers were dying and four died. At the same time i could feel bad and good to be her bad because if I was her I wouldnt want any family members to die and good because she was able to be alive after all those bad things she has gone through.
3.How do you think Young will live her life now that she is in America? Do you think she will have a better life or a bad one?WHy?

1-The book so far has been preety sad an interesting because why would they do that just kill the parents for like no other reason. Well I think they had to do it any ways because it was already there plan so ya. But its also not fair that they just killed them because they had a a life to live and to take care of the family liek kids and stuff.

2-Well it has been also sad because Keav died and all she wanted to do is see her father'but I guess she wasnt in time.Well I guess if she hadent gotten her that sick she could of had time to see her father.Also what was really sad was that they lost her body somewhere in the clinic and there was no way they could of bury her.[because you cant bury something if the body isnt there]
3-Do you think that Khmer is worring more about the trading more than she neds to be paying attention to the people who needs food and starving?

1-Well so far I think the book has been sad, and I think that because at the begining the Family had to evacuate and kinda leave the U.S because of a bomb the U.S had to put. It's really sad when a family has to leave a place they kinda had been living for a while. I also think that its really hard to belive that because imagine the U.S or some state u live in putting a bomb and then you have to evacuate when you have no other place to live.So the begining was sad for what they had to do.

2-Well I think that 1 of the main character would be Young because she is kinda like a talkative person and like to me she is very talkative and like kinda whiny too. So this character is new to me because usually there is more other characters that talk alot, but in this book she is more like a talkative and whiny person. Plus this book is a little bit familiar to So Far Away From Bamboo Grove because there is a part were the family has to move because they had to go away from s place they were living in.
3-Where do you think they would go live since they didnt let Khumer know to what place they were staying?

'He sat up and sniffed it and wagged his tail and look at the candy from between my fingers real gentle. He tried to chew on it but that didnt work, he just sallowed the wholething into a big gulp. Then he wagged his tail at me and lay back down'- Well it was my favorite little paragraph brcause it seems that the author was being really specific on discribing the dog and what he did. So i thought it was really discribtive.

1-If You could change one thing in the book, what would it be?Why would you change it?

Well I think that the author is reeally specific and good at deatiling and I would like to read another book by the same author.(he is good at writting books)

This book would probably remind me of me when I had to go to the store (when my mom sent me) and I saw something that i really liked and I bought it with the money that i was soppost to be buying the groceries with.Wich also was kind of funny because I had to go back to the store again.

BAMBBO GROVE#5:FINAL POST

1) I think that the ending was not bad but I think they could of told us about there dad sooner than like at the back of the book .But I think it was good enough to say about themselfs but i think that they could of said something about there dad because it was kind of interesting and like they didnt mention him like alot. But I also think that they wanted to mention the dad at the end of the book to maybe like surprise the people who read it to see like there reaction.

2) So I think that they waned to have this celebration to like forget some of there past and have a little fun by creating that celebration.And for the question if I was to be in there position, I were to see how they acted like their attitude.Also like what they do during there free time and stuff.

3)The character that I would respect the most would be Yoko because; like to see what she accually feels.Although she changed during time in the book for example her attitude were changed.Also that to me she has learned a couple of lessons that things are never going to happen directly how she wants it.

4)Some things that I learned while reading the book was that the traditions that the Koreans and the Japaneses had like for example the Koreans carried a bag on their hips and the Japaneses carried a rucksack on their backs.I had also learned about there life-style form the characters;oh ya and how they act on so many things that happen to them.

5)I think that the theme of this book was to learn about Moral courage.For example how to believe in yourself and help others that are around you.So I mean to help others in your sorroundings and to believe in your-self as much as possible so you'll be able to accomplish things.

BAMBOO GROVE POST #4

1)i think that there really nice to each other and there trying to help each other as much as posibble to stay friends,because Yoko would be lonley if Mr.Naido wasnt her friend.I think that they have a bit stuff in common for example they both dont really have friends there at school and they try to give each other company cuz there aat school they dont really have friends.
2)To me it seems that Ko's idea went pretty well during the New Years Feast because she was trying to help her sister with somethin and it was kinda sad that she had to spend her savings for shoes on somethin to help her sis on.i think that , that was really noce idea. her attitude went kinda bad baceuse she went to a kind person into a whining and man person, but i also think that to her, her family is much more important to her than anything else.And i think that she doesnt really care about what people say to her any more.
3)question:how do u think ko feels about not having her mother with her any more?
answer:i think Ko feels sad but not lonley cuz she has her sister.i think that because its feels sad when u loose someone u really loved and mostly when its someone in your family,but i think she wants to move on on her life(she still has Yoko)

BAMBOO GROVE POST#3

1)a.i think they wanted to leave it was becuase the mom didnt want Yoko to be in a scary and really dangerous place like that because the grils were getting raped.it was scary to be there.

b.Somehow they neede to get out of there because it was getting worse than scary.And so know one can resist anything that scary that is happen.

2)what emotion would u feel when u heard about this that happen?
i feel choked and kinda like scared because if i was in there pocition i will probably start going somewhere else or like go as far as them as i can be; wouldnt like to be raped mostly when its all girls.

BAMBOO GROVE POST #2

1) My opinion is that Hideo is a very nice person who doesn't just think about himself but tries to help other people.Also think that Hideo is a caring person who likes to to help people all the time. so i think that he is trying to help his famiy as much as he can.I also think that he is kinda smart by what he does.
2)If i were to be in there position and i only had ten minutes to pack every thing i can;i will probably take like 1 or 2 blankets,i will also take like about 2 canteens full of water for if thursty,probably some snacks for when hungry,oh and some emergency things for when i get hurt.
3)One of the most interesting and sad part that i liked duing the book is when when all the army guys suddenly came and started shooting;and hideos best friend got shot and he died.I think that was sad because its really sad when i loose some one you really love as like a friend or a family member and you cant do anything else about it.

BAMBOO GOVE POST#1

1)yoko is a very good girl, she seems to me that she is very strong and sometimes kinda mean. to me Yoko is alot herself and dificult with her mather and her sister.
2) I think that Ko thinks that Yoko is a spoiled girls who thinks about her self and i think she means that because Yoko is the gril who is taking everything under controll. I also think that she calls her ''bossy'' because she the one who takes care of everything abd she kinda is telling people what to do but i think she does it to protect her.
3)To me they seem unlike because they dont have that much in common. i say that because Yoko doesnt have that much in common with every one ; like they all have different choices (to me) oh and i think that Ko is scared and kinda friten. She seem like a caring women who likes to help.

1)One of my cahracters is reallly nice and she is nice because she seems like she likes to help her friends and she seems to me like she cares about her and her family.Its because she is really cretive, nice and careless to me.(for example she helped her friend who could babysitt and she just decided to help her with the kids)

2) In this part of the book it made me fell good because it was kind of nice of her to help one of her best friends do something and plus she has helped other people too wich was kinda nice of her.

3)I liked how the author decided to make the character really nice because i think i havent met some one that seems really nice to other people or people she does know that well so the character semm so nice to other people.it was creative.

1)My least fave character in my book is called JOLLY because she seems to make most of the things that the protaganist should do+ she seems interesting.

2)One of my fave lines in the story is ''when I go there Jolly is there too in the Moms Up counseling area where it screemed off so they could make an office where there were wasnt one before and we use to say HI like we used to know each other like we use to ride the bus'' I liked it because it made a good image in my head.

3)I would want to read another book by the same author because it seems like a interesting and cool book.

Betty Ann Post

1)One of the saddest part was when the guy said that Betty Ann hada breakdown, and it made me think that the other kids kade her feel bad for all the things they have done to her'what I mean is like if they distroyed her making her feel bad and sad.

2)If I where there I would stand up for Betty ann and tell Magigie to be nice to her because she hasnt done anything to her and plus Betty is a nice girl and to be a little nicer because she could of hurt and did hurt Betty's feelings.

3)''Treat others the way you wonna be treated and also dont judje other people beacause we are all the same no one is different.

Wave #5

1) The quote that I liked the best was ''yes you have a leader''.I decided to choose this quote as my favorite because for me it made me think that it made Ben be the leader, because he was the one who controlled everything .

2)My question is ''What do u think would of happened if the Wave kept on spreading?
