1. Why do you think Yoko wants to help Mr. Nahido? How and why does he help her? What do they have in common?
The reason Yoko helps Mr. Niado because he's the only friend she has. He also saves her paper, ink, art supplies, and many other things. She loves to talk to him and he doesn't call her " Rag Doll" or " Trash Picker." Mr. Nahido likes to help Yoko because he has someone to talk to that doesn't make fun of his stuttering, Yoko is also helping him clear his voice. She as well picks up cans from the ground and gives them to him for him to sell, when she could be selling the cans herself (because we all know she needs every cent she earns). The thing they have in common is that they're outcasts to the snobby girls in the school and they love to make fun of them. Also the both of them know what it's like not to live very rich.
2. Finding out about Ko's "idea" is a turning point for Yoko. Explain how this incident is a turning point for her. What does she realize at that moment? How does her attitude change?
When she sees Ko shining people's shoe for so that she can rice cakes for the new year Yoko feels honored to have such a kind and generous sister. When Yoko sees the hard work she knows that Ko is doing it for her. So she really want to show how happy was she for Ko being such a good big sister and looking out for Yoko and making sure there is food on the table.
3. Write your own: Remember, no easy answers? Ask those tough how and why questions to create discussions in your group. DON'T FORGET: Offer your own answer as well.
Yoko hasn't thought about her father that much, but soon after she does. Why do you think Yoko forgot about her father and why did she suddenly think of him?
I think it's because she been running for her life and was wondering if she was going to live or die. But when she safe she starts to think about her life in Korea and misses her father.

This post should be post 4. You put post 3. You should change the tittle so people won't get confused.
1. I agree. Because they are friends, he won't call her mean names. :). Yeah, it's good Yoko helps him with the stuttering probelm. Yep. It's good she talks slowly. I have a friend with the same probelm. Sort of. Also its good shes making money with those cans. Mr. Niado is nice. Yeah. Spoiled freaks!
2. I so agree! It's good Ko is making extra money for other things like food and shoes by shineing shoes. what a nice sister huh?! It's also nice of Ko looking after Yoko.
3. I think it's because she has her mind on so many other things. She has her mond on her moms death, money, school, and her brother. I think she started to remeber after all bad things happened.
By the way this is post #4 so don't get confused! -viv
1. yes I agree they are both outcast in that school.
2. I would have the same thing if i was in ko's position,m and I think it was nice of yoko to buy tea.
3. I think she was worried and occupied with everything that was going on including her mother's death.
1) I agree with you because he is the only friend she has. Also that he helps her alot and that she helps him.
2) I agree with you because it is hard for her so she became kind to her more. Also because she is a good siste to her.
3) I think that she thinks of him now because Mr. Naido reminds her of him. Also that she didn't think abouthim because she was going through alot before and when they got to Kyoto.
