* Sam Ferguson 5-24-10 P2 //Ko & Dan//

Dan from the book __Night Of The Twisters__ by Ivy Ruckman and Ko from the book, __ So Far From the Bamboo Grove .__ b y Yoko Kawashima Watkins. The characters are the same and different. A 16 year old girl named Ko from in Korea trying to get to Japan in World War II with her sister and mother being forced to leave their father and brother and a 12 year old boy from a small town in central Nebraska home alone with his friend and baby brother scared as a twister is destroying his town with trash every where his only instruction from his mom was get in the basement can be the same and different. Dan and Ko are both caring. Because Ko tells Yoko (her sister) to be carful of strangers and not to go outside after dark. But Dan told everyone to get down stairs and wouldn’t let Arthur leave to check on his family because there was a twister outside and Dan was taking care of his baby brother, which is very caring. Ko is skeptical, because of what she’s been through like when a police officer stole their metal and gold so she doesn’t trust a lot of people. But Dan is trustful and kind and patient like when he was trying to get mrs. Smiley out of her basement he was calm and nice and gentle. Dan is sometimes mean like when he doesn’t like his little brother and wouldn’t give the girls a ride on his new bike. And Ko is sometimes mean like when she told Yoko the trip would have been easier if she were dead and she told her to stop whining. See how two different people from two totally different books Ko’s was about world warII. And Dan’s was about 7 twisters hitting them in three hours but yet Ko and Dan can still be the same in some ways and different like Dan is trustful some times and Ko can be skeptical some times. And they’re both caring and a bit mean. So the two different characters can be so identical and very different.
