Questions about Chapter 9 (When My name was Keoko)
1. Why do you think Uncle suddenly changed when Sun-hee introduced her friend Jung-shin at his printing shop?

2. What movie did Onishi-san showed the students at school?
» Onishi-san showed the students the movie about how bad the Americans and what is good to fight against them.
3. How did the movie depict Americans?
