So Far From The Bamboo Grove #4
1. I think that Yoko wants to help Mr. Naido to be generous, and also because of what her father said. Her father told her to talk slowly with someone who stutters, so Yoko followed her father especially since he's not around. Mr. Naido helps Yoko by giving her useful papers, books, etc. that other girls find wasteful. I think it's pretty nice of him to give her them because of the tough situation Yoko is in.

2. Ko's "idea" got Yoko to think that Ko was at school doing work, though Ko was just making more money by shoe shining. Yoko found that Ko was working more after to help the sisters survive, especially through their tough time. Yoko then seemed to be more nicer to Ko. I think it's kind of unfair since Ko was out when she told Yoko that she shouldn't be out of the house.

3. If you were in Yoko's position, would you have saved up your money for shoes? Or would you do something else?
If I was in Yoko's position I would work hard to buy a new pair of shoes instead of anything else so that my feet would be nice and comfy instead of the shoes I would've had right now.

    1) I agree with you. I agree with you how you said that she did it because she was generous. I also agree with you on how Mr. Naido was generous enough for him to give her a book, glue and stuff like that.

    2) I also agree with you on this one to. But I never thought of it like that. But I agree with you when you said that Yoko found Ko working for them so they could survive.

    Question) I would of done something else like buy food because I think that surviving is more important then getting shoes. And at least she has shoes.

    1)i think she and him have something in common that they are always being made fun of so they would go along and i agree with tent about the generosity and the giving of the paper, books,glue etc.

    2)i agree and she atomically realizes that they need to take care of
    themselves


    3)i would use it on something else that would help me better then shoes but even though you could get sick because you are opening you self to the freezing cold.

    1. Mr. Naido is such a great friend to Yoko, I don't know what Yoko would do at school without him.

    2. I liked Yokos idea I thought that it was really genorous, and I thnk that Ko really apreciated it.

    3. I would probobly get the shoes, not that I would be selfish or anything, but Ko said to get shoes, then I would'nt have to get back to it later, like since Yoko did'nt get the shoes now, she still has to make money for shoes anyway, and you mine as well get the shoes before winter so that your feet could be nice and warm.

    Great Job!
