growth in is she has become more courageous.Sookan had it hard as a child, but
she learned how to deal with it without making a fit or tantrum. She started out in the
book not needing to be courageous,but when captain Narita
made her go to Japanese school she needed to be very courageous. The first day of
school it was hard therefore when the second day came along she did not want to go she said “I felt like announcing “I am not going to that horrible place again
this morning.” But I knew if I didn't go to school, my family would be in trouble with
Captain Narita and the police”(Choi 78) This shows that she did not want to go but she
did anyway.
