In the memoir Year of Impossible Goodbyes by Sook Nyul Choi, Sookan changes from being scared and dependent on other people to brave, strong, and an independent figure. This is represented throughout the book in three moments including in the beginning when the Imperial Soldiers came in on Haiwon's birthday celebration and shut it down, towards the middle when Sookan starts going to school, and at the end when Sookan and Inchun get past the barbed-wire fence.

Sookan is changing toward being more brave throughout the book Year of Impossible Goodbyes when she encounters these situations: Sookan grasps her Grandfathers hand in his dying moments, when Aunt Tiger walks her to the beginning of her academic career, and when she gets very critical of Captain Narita's acrimonious behavior.

John C. Maxwell said, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and show the way". This quote is related to Ulysses Everett McGill from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, because Everett McGill is a great leader from this story and he makes good decisions. The film Oh Brother, Where Art Thou is a 2000 adventure film written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The main character Everett is a interesting figure. After watching this film, I recognized that this character is very similar to Odysseus from the film/book The Odyssey.

Sookan becomes braver in the book Year of Impossible Goodbyes when faced with the following situations: attending Japanese school, the guide leaving her and Inchun to fend for themselves, and crossing the 38th parallel without being noticed. Sookan and her mother had put off going to Japanese school, since Sookan was small for her age and no one would question them. Now, Sookan needed to attend, since she's grown. Her first day there was even more terrifying than she thought it would be. The teacher was intimidating and mean, not even letting the girls use the restroom and lecturing them on how to defeat the Americans. Sookan could not bare the thought of going back there, but she had to. The next day, something new came over Sookan.

Sookan changes in many ways throughout the book Year of Impossible Goodbyes when faced with the following situations: Feeling and imagining harsh situations for those she goes against, becoming more caring and thoughtful towards those she loves, and becoming more wise and calm in different situations. First, Sookan has negative thoughts about people that she doesn't like from what they have done to her, even though she learned to not have those thoughts. A quote that shows this is: "I couldn't help thinking how wonderful it would be to kill all those wicked Japanese as the boy had said." (Choi 81). This quote shows she is changing because she wanted to kill the Japanese and mother always taught her to never think like that. She is becoming

For example, in the the Second Punic War “ Hannibal set his light-armed troops and cavalry in motion to meet him, and charging the Romans while they were still marching, took them by surprise and caused a great confusion in their ranks.” (Polybius, 110) This book meanly wrote about the wars which leaded by Hannibal, including the Second Punic War.

Hajime also expresses attraction to Chiaki when she, along with the other girls, puts on a swimsuit to go down to the beach. However, Chiaki herself removes the

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near”. To prevent the enemy from fathoming one’s intentions is of the first importance. Thus deceived, the enemy will not know whether or where to attack or defend and, thus, will have to prepare on all fronts. Such an enemy has his forces stretched, is consequently weak everywhere, and will certainly be defeated.
