Answers
Answer:
Q1) I went around whispering over and over,”Keoko. Kaneyama Keoko. Keoko.”
Why did the speaker whisper the name repeatedly? What did she think of the new
name?
Ans: The speaker whispered the name repeatedly because she was trying to get used
to the new name. She found it difficult to believe the name was hers and was trying to
make herself accept it.
Q2.) In what way were the family’s old and new names---
a) different from each other?
b) similar to each other ?
Ans: a. The family’s old name was Korean and their new name was Japanese.
b. The new Japanese name ‘Kaneyama’ meant ‘mountain of gold’ and was similar to
the old Korean name ‘Kim’ which meant ‘gold’ and referred to a clan of people who
used to live in the mountains of Korea.
Q3) Did Sun-Hee find it easy to respond when she was call ‘Keoko’ ? Why or why
not?
Ans: No, Sun-Hee did not find it easy to respond to her new name. She could not think
of it as her name. Whenever someone called her Keoko, she felt as if they were talking
to someone else and not to her.
Q4) Why did the teacher have to punish Sun-Hee ? How did she feel about doing so?
Ans The teacher had to punish Sun-Hee because Onishi-san had ordered her to do so.
She felt very unhappy about giving the girl such a harsh punishment for such a small
mistake.
Q5) Best of all, I was too angry to cry. Why was the speaker angry? What reason did
she have to cry? Why did she appear to feel proud of not crying ?
Ans: The speaker was angry because she felt it was unfair that the names of the Korean
people were taken away and they weren’t given any time to learn their new names.
She was given a painful punishment in front of the whole class and so had a reason to
feel angry and ashamed and therefore cry. She appeared to be proud of not crying
because she refused to be defeated by the cruel actions of those who were trying to
oppress her and did not want to seem weak in front of them.
