The Kite Fighters
Ms. Van is reading us a book called the” Kite Fighters”
by Linda Sue Park.. There are two main characters Young-sup and Kee-sup. This book
takes place in 1473 Seoul, Korea. Kee-sup and Young-sup are brothers. Young-sup
is the younger brother. Young-sup has a very interesting talent in kite flying
and Kee-sup has a talent in making kites. Kee-sup experiences a capping
ceremony which shows he is coming of age. Young-sup suddenly feels so much
younger than Kee-sup. This book shows how Young-sup and Kee-sup overcome their
differences. Together the two brothers create a tool that might just win them
victory.
