OP#1

1. I think that Yoko is very young and doesn't understand what's going on. I think this because of the language that she uses. I also think that she doesn't know how she's battling between life and death because if she understood she wouldn't question her mom about cutting her hair or putting on the army uniform. I feel that Yoko is very giving because on the train she gave so much to that mother even though she really could have used all of those supplies. 2. I think that Ko really loves her sister and is giving her all of these orders to save her life and help out her mom and Yoko thinks that she is just being bossy. I think that Yoko just gets mad at her sister and just lets things slip out that she doesn't really mean because in the book it says that later Yoko didn't know why she said that about her sister. I think that Ko would do anything and risk her own life for her sister because in the story it said that Ko went back onto the train tracks when she was way ahead of Yoko and her mom to go let Yoko ride on her back. I just think that in Yoko's culture, they call anyone in authority or older honorable. 3. Well like I said I think that they are very giving and caring because they shared a lot of their valuable supplies that they could have used because in the story on they were lending a lot of their stuff to people that needed them. I also feel that the author included this because I think that one of those people that they helped will help them later on in the story. I also think that they are very smart because I would of never thought of putting on the soldiers uniforms so that I wouldn't have to hide at night or worry about being stopped by the soldiers.
