Bambove Grove Final Post

1. I think it was a quiet ending and it was just a time where Yoko and KO found their family and reunited as a family. But i don't know why they don't show the dad in the end. They should of showed how the dad comes back instead of showing it on one sentence at the end. Some issues occurred when they ended the book with hideyo finding his family. But i think they could of put the dad in their to make it satisfying so that we (as the readers) could see the dad come back and how the family really misses it.
I think the ending showed a lot of courage and braveness because of how Yoko and KO stood it until the end. I think they showed braveness because of how they went thought he war and how they survived a moment in our world's past. I think that hideyo was trustful in his family because he believes they will survive on their own without him and i think that is a big thing for a boy to leave his sisters and mom with a war going on. i think have trusted his family a lot and believed they would survive this war. I think this kawashima family has a lot of braveness and courageous.

2. I think that they wanted to try the Japanese culture because they were born in japan. I also think that it helped their family become nice to each other and well manured in front of all of their friends. It is something that is their culture and at least everyone i know wants to know more about their culture and i think that they wanted to know a little more about who their relatives are by studying the manors of the Japanese. I would observe my specific culture like for example the reason my culture became a culture and how they believed in a certain thing. I would be drawn to look into my culture because i think it would be very interesting.

3. I admire hideyo the most for being so brave to his family and trustful. I like hideyo the most because he has courage to go through this war with braveness because he can trust his family and can feel his love for his family. This brother of the kawashima family can have the guts to go for whatever his family tells him.

I admire his strength through the war because he has helped his family when they are in need. He has been there for them and someone who encourages them. He gives lots of hope to his family even though they fight over little things. He is the boy in the kawshima family and the person that i think is the most brave when it comes to his family.

4. I learned that the war was brutal and i learned about a families perspective and how they survived through the war of world war 2. I learned about the things of hope, courage, and braveness. I learned about the time frames of the war and how the past was very hard and terrifying for people. I learned about the history of the Japanese and how the Korean communist army was taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese was defenseless when the Americans hit the Japanese hard with a couple atomic bombs.

I also learned on how the war effected families like the kawashima family and i realize now what the Japanese families had to go through. I think that the they war was hard for everyone and that a lot of people had to go through horrible times. I think most families lost hope but i think the kawashima family had a lot of full grown hope that lays still within them.

5. I learned that human nature can be terrifying sometimes but i think people still believe in hope and survival when theses things happen. There a bunch of problems when the kawashima family helps out people that are trying to survive in the war but they still tell each other they love each other and that they will stick together as the kawashima family always.

I think that this long journey has been full of wonders and also terrible things but in the end everything came to the way it was supposed to be.
