Tae-yul in "When My Name was Keoko" was the brother of Sun-hee, the son of Abuji and Omoni, and the nephew of Uncle. I thought that he had a major change in his character. Before Uncle had joined the resistance, everything was so calm and formal. Tae-yul and Sun-hee weren't allowed to talk back to or argue with an adult. But once that started happening, there were many complications and danger that could happen to their family.
Tae-yul started to argue with his parents. He began to do whatever he thought was the right thing to do without going and asking Omoni or Abuji first. He joined the Imperial Army just so he could save Uncle. He risked his life for Uncle. Tae-yul also knew that if he joined the army, his family could be provided with better food, clothes, and they would be treated much better.
Tae-yul is a very brave and committed person. He puts other's needs before his own. I think that even though sometimes, he does what he wants to do, he mostly does things for other people's purposes. He has developed from a boy who didn't stand up for his own thoughts to a boy who is risking anything for what he believes is a good thing to do.

...Hi bob. Great posts, again! Well, from looking @ everyone elses posts, I wont evem have to read my book anymore :D. But really good descriptions Christina.(I am going to copy ur photo thing now =)
chrisyy!!! Well, I read this book before and so I'll reflect based on what i remember. I think Taeyul was also a very courageous to do what he did. But I think he was sort of suicidal in a manner. His heart was brave and courageois but his mind wasn't the smartest ways he did what he did. He was very deliberate by going to the imperial forces, or watever. But still he was very brave. He took action which most woujldn't do. He would be enough to admire.
