1. Choose a particular situation in the story and describe how the character reacted. Would you act similiarly if it was you?
Begining: Lynn, Katie and their family, moved to a white town, with only a few japaneas people. Katie, and Lynn and their family are very poor, and Katie (the younger sister) always talks about how she wants to buy 7 houses for her parents 1 day.
Middle: The authour talks about the parents jobs, and how they had a new baby brother named Sammy. Later on in the book the mom interacts with some white people. Sammy, Lynn and Katie went on a picnic, and Sammy got stuckin a trap, but he got rescued, thanks to an American guy who took him to the hospital. Lynn also met a friend named Amber who changed Lynn's perosnality, buy making her more girly, and making her wear lipstick.
End: At the end of the book, Lynn dies, because of a sickness that she has. Now Katie tries her best to do better in school, and make Lynn proud.
Towards the end of the book, when Katie finds out that Lynn died, the authour did not add much deatail about her reaction, so I assumed that she was okay, however later on in the novel, that mention that Katie cries alot, because if lynn. This tells me that she was upset but if i were in Katies shoes, I would have been crying when I found out that my sister died. Therefor what I am trying to say is that the authour should have added more information about the thoughts and feelings that Katie had so that the reader will understand the mood better.
