Kevin and Ko

Kevin’s a boy whose 13 and from the book __The Eyes of Kid Midas__ by Neal Shusterman. Kevin found a pair of glasses that grant him his every wish. Things get worse when Side effects start taking effect. Ko is an 18-year-old girl from __So Far From the Bamboo Grove__ by Yoko Kawashima Watkins. The war takes them away from their home in the bamboo grove to far away places. Both characters have problems with their attitude that may have got them in trouble. Here is the list.

Kevin is selfish. I say he’s selfish because he found a pair of glasses that grant him his every wish. When his friend wanted to borrow them Kevin said “no”. Kevin is also courage’s. When his friend Josh was getting beat up by a bully Kevin stepped in to help his friend josh. They both got beat up but Kevin at least got Josh a chance to run away “which he did”. Kevin’s last trait is that he can be mean. A bully was picking on him and he accidently yelled to the bully “Go to hell Bertram”. He was wearing the glasses and he was actually dragged there. Let’s talk about Ko. Ko is bossy. Ko is bossy because she’s always yelling at her little sister Yoko to do stuff like wash the clothes, and clean the food, and chase away the person out front. Ko and Kevin have one character trait that’s the same and that is that there both courage’s. Ko is also courage’s because There was a mysterious man walking around outside were they live, so Ko went outside to see what it was. Yoko came out to and threw boiling hot water at the man’s face. Then Ko attacked the man with a peeling knife while Yoko called the police. Ko also very loves. Every day she prays at her mothers alter. Ko also takes care for the family by making them feels better and tries to get them new things.

KO and Kevin have similarities and differences as you can see. Some of them have gotten them in sticky situations. Let’s hope now that they can get out of them.
