So Far From The Bamboo Grove #3
1a. In my opinion, Ko, Yoko, and their mother feels that they must leave Korea to be more safer at their homeland country, Japan. They would of probably been more protected with their relatives, such as their father and grandmother. Ko, Yoko, and their Mother wouldn't of been able to survive in Korea because of all of the soldiers capturing the Japanese, and a shortage of food. There were many escapees to Japan, trying to save their life and not get captured by the Korean Communist Army.

1b. I kind of agree with the girls' decisions to leave Hideyo behind. Otherwise, Ko, Yoko, and their Mother would've been captured or even killed. I think that the girls' could of left a note to meet Hideyo in their homeland, instead of Seoul.

2. If you were in Hideyo's position, would you have climbed the tree? Or would you have done something else? Of course, you would want to hide to not get killed. So would you plant a tricky scheme or whatsoever? If so, why?

I would've most likely climb the tree. It's a smart thing to do, and if I was in Hideyo's position I would probably not even think of doing that. I wouldn't of want to increase the risk of getting killed by pulling a prank or looking like an animal or something.

    1) a. I agree that they will be a lot safer in Japan where people will not tret them as badly as the people in Korea did.

    b. I agree with you that they kind of had to leave Seol or they probobly would have been killed, but it would have been really great if they met Hideyo in Saeol and they got to all see each other again.

    2) I would probobly panic for like a minute and then I would climb the trre, if there wasen't a tree I don't know what I would do.

    1) I agree to with you and Sofia because they are probably much safer if they moved out of Korea. They will not treat that badly as Sofia said.

    b) I agree to. They probably would been killed. And was smart and also sad that they had to do that. It would of been great if they met Hideo in Seol.

    Question) I would probably panic and be clueless for a minute or 2 and if there was no other hiding spot I would definitly climb up the tree so they would not get me or kill me. If there wasnt a tree I would just run like the wind or hide behind a rock if they were really close.

    1)i agree that Koreans are very mean and unfair to the Japanese and they wouldn't be safe there.

    2)i agree that they should of left a note for the homeland so they would meet up there instead of Seoul were Hideyo would get there and be confused

    3)i would climb the tree but if there was no tree i would run like my life depended on it oh wait it does if i was in Hideyo's position
