Ko to Dan

__So far from the Bamboo Grove by__ Yoko Kawashima Watkins and __Night of the Twisters__ by Ivy Ruckman, are to completely different novels. They have two different main characters that are  Ko  and  Dan , whose situations are also different. __So far from the Bamboo Grove__ takes place at WW II. __Night of the Twisters__ takes place in Nebraska when a tornado is hits  Dan’s neighbor hood. Ko is a refuge from Korea that takes care of her of her little sister, because their mother died. Dan is an ordinary kid that tries desperately tries to find his mom and dad in a twister.

Ko is brave in the sequel to the __So far from the Bamboo Grove__ called __My Brother, Sister, and I. __  In the sequel she went into the warehouse when it was on fire to get mother’s ashes and the family’s sword. She is also determined to Yoko and herself alive. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Ko <span style="color: #74af74; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is also positive when she was telling Yoko that Hideyo was coming back and that father was alive.

<span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Dan <span style="color: #5e315e; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;"> is brave in __Night of the Twisters.__ When he drives a cop car when he is only twelve. Also he runs to Kmart to find his mom when a tornado could possibly come. Also <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Dan <span style="color: #5e315e; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">is determined to find his mom and dad. <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Dan <span style="color: #5e315e; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;"> is sometimes negative because when they were in the bathroom he was thinking that they were going to die in the tornado.

<span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Those are some of the similarities and difference between <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Ko <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> and <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Dan <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">. Like <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Ko <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> is usually positive. On the other hand <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Dan <span style="color: #ed5a26; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> is sometimes negative in the story.
