So Far From The Bamboo Grove

So far from the Bamboo Grove is a good book. A girl name Yoko tells the story about her terrifying journey that she had went through with her family. Yoko and her sister,Ko and her mother were forced to leave their houses in Korea because Koreans were mad and were trying to punish Japanese for what they did. Some of the Japanese that lived in Korea were neutral, like Yoko's family however Korean soliders diddnt understand that. So this book is mainly about those three, and Yoko's brother, Hideyo appears in the story once in a while.
Through out the story, Yoko comes out as a girl who is very young and curious. She asks alot of questions. At first she seemed like a girl who complains a lot but as the story goes on she learns to be strong and learns to just face the hard problems just the way it is. Even though it was really hard for her to walk all day long in the cold with her mom and her sister, she complained but never had given up. She might seem like a weak girl but deep inside she is strong hearted. To be honest, if i was in Yoko's shoes , I would of given up already and would of been really scared watching horrible things happening to people, like in the train. 11 is a pretty young age, however Yoko faced cruel problems even though she was young and learned from those by getting stronger.
I think Ko is a very good role model for Yoko. Yoko is also learning from her sister that she has to just face the hard situations.
For the past few days, reading this book has been a nice experience for me and I m happy to see how the ending is going to be like.
