1. a. I think that Ko, Yoko, and their mom feel that they have to leave Korea and Pusan because they saw other Japanese women being raped and torured by Koreans Communists. I think thatn they were raped because they were Japanese, but if they were Koreans, then I think they would probably be raped anyways because of how they were. "In the weeds, there was a Korean man on top of a girl. She was kicking wildly and screaming." There were several other times where this happened, which, when you think about it, is terrible.
1. b. I think that they made the right choice in leaving both Korea and Pusan, even though they had to leave Hideyo behind. I think that it wasn't safe enough for them there. I would have done the same thing, even though it meant leaving Hideyo behind.
Why do you think that their mother kept so calm through all of this and hardly spoke unless it was an order?
I think that she keeps so calm because she is concerned about her daughters and the outcome of it all. I think that she thinks that her daughters watch and follow what she does, so if she complains, then they will complain too. Maybe she just feels that she doesn't need to say anything, or maybe she's shocked by what's going on and can't even say anything about it.

1.) I think taht you are right it is very hard to leave someone you love behide but you know that it was they had and new was right to do.
2.) I think that at taht moment it was the sfest place to be but you know there was very cruel and scary stuff going on still so amagine them going some were that wasn't as safe.
3.) I agree wih mif he is right they did look up to her mother by the way she reacts!
hey it me beyra I just really needed to give you my new blog account because my old one won't let me in so now you need to comment me at http://beyrat123.blogspot.com/ thanks!
1: I think they really had no other choice but to leave. The Koreans were getting really out of hand
B: Korea was becoming unsafe for them to stay in so they had to leave.
2: I agree with MIF that thier mother is sort of the role model. So what she says goes.
1. I believe that leaving was the right thing to do. Rape is a horibble thing. I would have runaway too.
1.b. I would have left my brother behind, if I was surrounded with all this violence. It would have been hard to do, but I would not want to be hurt.
2. I think that the mother is scared and shocked, but she wants to keep cool so that her daughters don't freak out.
