Hideyo shows courage by getting his friends before he left the ammunition center.Hideyo also shows courage by walking alone to Seol for his family.In the first place he is courageous for trying out to fight for his countrey. I havn't learned a lot about Hideyo interacting with his family but I don't think it shows anything when Yoko calls Hideyo honorable brother because he couldn't even pass the mental test for the army.

If I was forced to leave my home I would have my mom manage getting all of the food and her clothes. I would have my sister get as much clothes as she can fit in a big bag and grab the dog because he barks at strangers and scares people away.I would get my cellphone for communication to my family in other places that were not being evacuated. My laptop would help for communication and and entertainment and same with my game boy.I would bring a pocket knife if my dog doesn't do the trick. My Dad would be in charge of his stuff and all the money.My brother would have around the same list as I did

There were three things that have really shocked me throughout the book

. When the mom had a baby but it was dead and they had to throw the baby off the train but the mom didn't want that so she jumped off while it was moving.

. When the soldiers came and they put the blanket of goop that comes out before a women is about to have a baby on Yoko To make her look older and like she is having a baby.

. When The soldiers invaded the ammunition factory and killed almost everybody just because three people shot.
