A Single Shard: The monkey represents the soul of Crane man and how his presence is still with him even though he is not physically there.

Kite Fighters: The kite represents freedom and hope for young-sup.

SeeSaw Girl   The Seesaw jade builds is a symbol of freedom and aliveness. Park states " I felt like  was flying." This shows aliveness.

When my name was keoko.
The uncle is a symbol of hope. Park states "Even though uncle is gone we won't lose hope in him" This is a symbol of hope since they are still believing in themselves

In the four books that we read they all had took place in Ancient Korea which was a common trend in ¨When My Name Was Keoko¨ it said, ¨First three letters of the Korean alphabet, my home.¨
Another example of this in See Saw Girl  in the text it says,"I wished I saw the outside of my walls but Korean Rules say I can't.¨  It also says this in A Single Shard Because the text says, ¨The thousand Cranes Vase can be viewed at the Kansong Museum of Art in Seoul Korea.¨   Finally, in Kite Fighters the text says,¨In Korea, the oldest has to fly the kite.¨  This shows how the settings are all the same and this a common trend in all of her books

                                3 Techniques

                                3 Techniques 

# data[].attributes.body
The three techniques Linda Sue Park uses are tone, symbolism, and description. In A Single Shard she uses the monkey that Tree-ear holds as a symbol of the life of Crane man. In When My Name Was Keoko it shows description because it states "A military policeman stands by the tool shed, talking to the officer in charge of the airfield. Both of them are looking at me, my stomach lurches a little. This shows the description in her books. In Seesaw girl in states " She ran into the kitchen in a daze of delight jumping on the seesaw feels like your flying!"

I know the author gets her motivation from her parents and her culture.  She uses her writing habits by throwing in her craft of tone and of her own culture and background.

Korea was founded in 2333 BC. Goryeo 918–1392  this is when Korea was first a nation and empire. joseon 1392–1897  This is when the previous empire was lost and this came to be. Korean Empire 1897–1910 this is where most of our books take place. Modern Korea  1910- this is what is korea right now.
