Hey, what up Mrs. Lalonde, it feels AWSM to be on your wiki. $ ;-P

=Assignments= Why was the world created? The world was created so that the living organisms would have a place to live.

How should people live? People should live in a peaceful way but not always because to much peace would make the world unbalanced. Also if war didn't exist, people wouldn't have a reason to live in peace if there isn't anything but peace.

Why is there so much suffering? There is a lot of suffering because sometimes people or countries do not get along well and war occurs. Also some people that are different do not have equal rights and the other people make them suffer.

What happens after death? After death you either go to heaven or hell depending on how you have acted in your lifetime. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. I would rather be Japanese. If I was Korean I would have to be a chin-il-pa, or a resister. If I was a chin-il-pa, the Japanese would respect me, but all the Koreans would hate me, and I would not have any friends. In case you are wondering what a chin-il-pa is, a chin-il-pa is a Korean who appreciates the Japanese. If I was a resister, then the Japanese wouldn't treat me in respect. I would be in great danger, and I would put my whole family in a lot of trouble. In the book we are currently reading, 'Uncle' is a resister and the book talks about how everyone is watching them, and how his life is in danger. If I was a resister than I would never be able to secretly speak Korean (if I knew how) with all those people (guards, Japanese people) watching me. Also if I was korean, I would barely know any thing about my culture, mostly because we have do to everything Japanese. In the book we are reading, Sun-Hee (Keoko) and Tae-Yul (Nobuo) didn't know the history behind the Korean flag, and did not know what it looked like until 'Uncle' showed them. I hope my decision for wanting to be Japanese is a good one, but so far, the Koreans seem to have more trouble. I hope you choose to be a Japanese girl or boy also.

3.I would actually respect the Koreans good. I would wish that the Koreans would be treated the same as Japanese people. I would want to be a good friend to a Korean like Tomo, except I would warn my friend about danger in a way that makes sense. I brought that up because in the book, Tomo is telling Sun-Hee something, but after all the things he said then, Sun-Hee thinks that her 'Uncle' is in terrible danger, and he should get in to hiding. Sun-Hee felt like she was right, but it turns out that Tomo was trying to tell her that the Japanese were going to take some metal from the Koreans because they need everything they can get for the war between the Americans. Sun-Hee already told 'Uncle' to hide, so he was in hiding and her family was mad at her because now they would be in great danger. If my mom or dad was a very important Japanese person, I would try to get my parent to let the Koreans have something like their name, or their right to speak their language. If I was Japanese, I would want to become a Korean, but I wouldn't know what trouble the Koreans would be going through because I was Japanese and the Japanese don't realize what the Koreans are going through. I sometimes wish a Japanese person would understand the Koreans, but I wouldn't want to be Korean if I wasn't Japanese. You will understand if you have read my first paragraph. This is only my third paragraph because the second question had to do with if you chose Korean, but I didn't. Now that I wrote this, I am not so sure if I want to be a Japanese person because they aren't so caring towards the Koreans.

4. War is not fair at all! I really don't see why the Japanese have to go to war with the Americans. In the book, the boys were saying "kill the Americans!!!", then Sun-Hee was like "Even the babies?". That shows that she is very caring, and I would probably think like that too. I just think it isn't fair also because the other country could have a better variety of weapons, so they could attack better. They could also have more people...so the amount of fighters would be unfair. War is also unfair because the people who aren't fighting could get killed, and they would die because the two countries weren't getting along. Also people could get harmed really badly. If there was a track star that got hurt on his leg, he wouldn't be able to run anymore because of the war that is going on. If a pregnant lady got hurt, her baby could die and she could die also and two lives would be lost because of the war. Also sometimes when you try to attack the other country, you could accidentally attack your own people and the fighter would get in big trouble with their own people. If I was a Japanese, I wouldn't agree to go to war (if I was a boy that is).
