Settings for When My Name Was Keoko (rewrite)

I am reading When My Name Was Keoko. The story is taken in place of Korea and the date of the first chapter is 1940. It was time before the Korean War. So Korea was one country. And it was when Korea was under the Japanese rule. Because they were ruling Korea, the Japanese treated the Koreans very unfairly, and many Koreans were in pain.This is the story narrated by two people: Sun-hee and Tae-yul. They each narrate every other chapter. Sun-hee and Tae-yul are brother and sister with Sun-hee being the younger one. Every Koreans are to change their names into Japanese. Soon Sun-hee and Tae-yul soon lose morethan their Korean names and their freedom. And there comes the war of Japan and America, too.I have never enjoyed reading historical fictions nor thought of myself enjoying reading them. But this one is different. This book is very interesting and fun to read. Perhaps it's because it's about Korea. -_-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Affects to the Characters: There are the Japanese in Korea, taking almost everything away from them. It makes Sun-hee and Tae-yul dislike or hate Japanes, and it also made Uncle to be part of the resitance movement. Later, when Tae-yul goes to the military, it makes him mentally and physically strong.

Affects to the Plot: Because the setting is in Korea, it showws how Koreans are treated badly by the Japanese, and if the plot was taken in Japan, then the story of Uncle becoming a part of the resistance movement wouldn't have happened.

And then we can see, in this book, Japanese soliers walking in their nice clothes, or other Japanese living well, when the Koreans have to wear clothes with patches and even eat animal food! We can hear Japanes outside, but Koreans inside the house of Sun-hee and Tae-yul's family. And lastly, we can taste the millet ! Blah.
