When my name was Keoko - Questions Chapter 17

1. What did the Japanese fear?
The Japansese feared an invasion of Korea would attack them, or even the islands of Japan.

2. What message was on the leaflets?
The leaflets were from the Americans. They sent a message telling Koreans not to worry since they're also coming to help them out. Sun-hee was glad since she realized the Americans knew the difference between the Koreans and the Japanese.

When my name was Keoko - Chapter 9-11 Questions

Chapter 9
1. Why do you think Uncle suddenly changed when Sun-hee introduce her friend Jung-shin at his printing shop?
    I think the reason why Uncle suddenly changed when Sun-hee introduce her friend Jung-shin at his printing shop is because he may either had a bad relationshipship with Jung-shin's father, or he may think Jung-shin's family are working for the Japanese since Uncle may seen him before, or have heard of his name.

Chapter 11
1. Who is Mrs Ahn and why do people in town think she is bad luck? Provide evidence to your answer.
    Mrs. Ahn was an old neighborhood of Sun-hee's family. People in town thinks she's a bad luck because she had a very unfortunate life. Her husband divorced her and so, she came back home with her parents. A couple years later her parents died together, too. Now she's left alone in this world. And since anyone who were related to her since the divorce would just leave her and go away, or, die. I think people were afraid that would also happen to them, so they'd stay away from Mrs. Ahn.
