What to Focus On

  • The story is set in 1940 during Japanese occupation of Korea.
  • Koreans were forced to change their names to Japanese ones.
  • Sun-hee is given the name Keoko, which means 'girl' but also 'sun's rays'.

  • Names are tied to identity, culture, and belonging.
  • Forced name changes are a form of cultural suppression.
  • Small acts of resistance help people keep their dignity.

  • Sun-hee: brave, thoughtful, emotionally strong.
  • Tomo: kind, loyal, empathetic.
  • Abuji: wise, protective, clever.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sun-hee is angry only because she was beaten, not because of the name change.

The new Japanese names have no connection to the Korean names.

Onishi-san is the main teacher in the class.
