Her parents inspired her to write the books she has now. This is because her parents were immigrates from Korea and then her parents talked to her about it and it seemed very interesting. So Linda Sue starting writing about the culture that not many people know about.

Some trends I saw while Linda Sue wrote was that she used formal dialogue. An example of this is, ¨Brother, I know it was wrong of me..." (Park, 1999)  Also In My Name was Keoko, ¨You know my name, not my story" And In A Single Shard," Tree-ear! Have you hungered well today
And Lastly with The Kite Fighters, ¨...Elder brother...¨
In A Single Shard  some dialogue is "Tree-ear! Have you hungered well today." These quotes prove that Linda Sue uses formal tone in her books, some more formal than others but she still writes consistently threw out her currere.

A Single Shard is about a small homeless boy named Tree-Ear. Tree-Ear wants to become a master potter like Min. Min is a master potter that Tree-Ear admires. When Tree-Ear faces many problems he must travel a very long journey to prove that he is worthy of Min's teachings.

I chose to rate a single 3 out of 4 stars because it was a great book but there were some parts that I couldn't understand, also there were some cliffhangers leaving me with questions.

Kite fighters about two brothers named Kee-sup and young-sup. What they do is fly and build kites and fly kites, but in the book young-sup is the better at flying and kee-sup is a better builder,but in Korea it should  be the opposite. And they find a way to find put young-sup in the kite fighting competition.Then when young-sup got to the compaction he met a boy that had won two years in a row. So at the end of the competition the two boys were left then young-sup started believing him self then he won the battle and his dad finally cheered for young-sup

My rating is a 3 and a 1/2 because I thought the ending would be a little more existing.

The rating for Seesaw Girl is a 1 out of 4 we give it a 1 because it does not pull the audience in and it was confusing

The book, When My Name Was Keoko, is a book about a sister and brother in Korea while the Japanese are in control. Their uncle is a resistance worker. The overall book is about how the family endures the challenges of living under Japanese rule, the uncle gone into hiding, and even a presumably dead son.

My rating:2
The reason I chose this rating is because the book overall, was funny at points but boring and confusing. The parts that are supposed to be surprises are expected by the reader usually
