​ Patrick Cyphers 5-21-10 Period 2 KO and Harley

In the books __So Far From the Bamboo Grove__ by Yoko Kawashima Watkins and __Out of Nowhere__ by Ouida Sebestyen. There are two main characters KO and Harley

who both face a lot of problems in there life. They are both two characters from two different stories.

In the book __So Far From the Bamboo Grove__ KO was independent because she starts selling things without anybody telling her to. KO is also very brave because

she uses the knife that she has to defend herself and her family from the Korean Communists that were trying to attack them or any other people that they find. KO

is also really hard working because she would defend her family from the Korean Communists with the knife that she had with her. Those are some of the character

traits about KO.

In the book __Out of Nowhere__ Harley shares several character traits with KO. Harley is independent because he is trying to get out of the desert that he is lost in. Next

he is very brave because he is all alone in the desert and he isn’t even crying because he is alone and couldn’t find a way out and I would cry if that were I. Opposite

of KO, Harley was lazy because all he wanted to do was sit around all day long. Those are some of the character traits of Harley.

KO and Harley are both similar and different although they are both brave and independent they are also different because KO is hard working and Harley used to be

lazy. They both have to face a lot of problems in the books. KO has to face having the Korean Communists attacking her, family, and other people and Harley

has to face being stuck in the desert. They both have a lot of things that happen in their lives.
