When my name was Keoko: characters

Sun-hee: she is brave, when uncle was in danger, she ran to uncles work shop that could've been very dangerous. She is also inteligent or mature, she likes to study kanji, charactors borrowed from China, and also likes to read and write.

Tae-yul: he is very brave, because he volunteers for things that are dangerous and also keeps the secret that could have been dangerous. He volunteers for building air craft, but also the Japanese army for his family, Abuji, Omoni, Sun-hee and also Uncle. He took the risk to go to the army even though he knew he might die, to keep uncle from danger and to help his family from starvation becasue of the Japanese.

Abuji: He is very mature, he thinks everything deep and thoughtfully. If anybody was in danger, he thinks what would be the best way to solve the problem and move on action. He discuses lots of things with his family, what to do and what could they do if danger comes. He is like the center of the family.

Omoni: basicly quiet charactor, she isnt involve in lots of things because of the Korean culture where girls werent able to do things that were active like guys.

Uncle: I think he is the bravest character in the story, he works for the secret resistance. He loves Korea, and wants Korea back from Japan. He hates when the Japanese invade Korean culture and causes some trouble because he works for the resistance. He makes lots of jokes, he seems immature but, he is mature inside, he cares about his family a lot.

hm..
i think you summarized your characters really well. It gives me a breif description of every character, and they seem very interesting. The characters seem like the everyday characters you can relate to. But, the actions they accomplish i think are very courageous. The charcters seem very unselfish. They think for each other not only for themselves. its a good book/ good post

yup yup and Tae-yul believes in himself and in his family no matter how far apart they are, he always has them in his memory and in his heart. I think that he is also brave to join the kamikaze mission to fight against the white devils (aka the Americans). He does not fear the Japanese even when they are in a high position and intimidating, Tea-yul stands his ground. That means that he= brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great post

I guess a lot of the characters in your book is brave. You are lucky to have so many characters that are dynamic and round. In my book, there's only one "round" person. Anyways, I think you did an awesome job describing all those characters. Reading your character description makes me want to read your book! Good job~
