Anthony Serafin 5/24/10 P2  Ko vs. Kevin Ko is a 16-year-old girl in the book __So Far from the Bamboo Grove__ by Yoko Kawashima Watkins. She is both similar and alike to 13-year-old Kevin Midas in the book __Eyes of Kid Midas__, by Neil Shusterman. KO is in a conflict of being a refugee in World War 2 in Korea. Kevin is also in a conflict. He finds these sunglasses that grant him anything he wants, but before he realizes it, they turn bad on him.

Kevin and KO is both brave because Kevin climbed up a cliff to get sunglasses from a bully. And Ko is fighting for her life to get to Japan to start a new life, but on the way she dresses up as a boy to hide from the army, see also saw her mother die. Also they are bossy because Ko bosses around Yoko. And Kevin is always telling Josh to do everything. 

 Kevin is selfish because he uses the glasses to do everything for him and ko is not because she never used anything to get her to Japan. Kevin used the glasses to get ice cream and pizza and he never let anyone else use it but him. Ko just went to Japan and didn’t do anything.

So Ko and Kevin are both similar and alike. But they still lived through all the conflict that happened in the two books.
