Sungju Lee

Sungju Lee webcodyI chose Sungju Lee as my hero because he lived with almost nothing. It was a biography book. Every Falling Star is 336 pages long. It takes place from when he was ten to when he was sixteen. It was published September 13th, 2016 by Harry N. Abrams. Sungju Lee in Every Falling Star comes from North Korea and China. He lived in the Pyongyang, North Korea for about ten years then on the streets for four years, then with his grandpa for eight months and then in China with his dad, Abeoji until he was old enough to move out. Sungju Lee had a mom named Eomedni, a dad named Abeoji a grandpa and a dog named Bo Cho. Sungju Lee liked Taekwondo, army men and war reenactments. One time Sungju Lee had to jump onto a moving train. Some people that influenced him as he grew up were his parents Abeoji and Eomedni, Young-Bum, Hyukchul, Chulho, Min-Gook, Sangchul and Unsik. When Sungju Lee was living on the streets, he dreamed of seeing his family. Sungju Lee wanted to be a general for the North Korean army but he did not get the chance. I did not notices any foreshadowing in Every Falling Star.

Sungju LeecodySome of the challenges he faced were getting enough food and water to live when he was on the street, not getting caught by cops and escaping North Korea. How he dealt with these problems was that he met some friends that helped him get food and water,  they gave him company, and they also helped him escape the cops. The person that helped him the most was his friend Young-Bum, because he helped him on to a train when he could not make it on himself and was one of his first friends to help him on the streets.  Three things Sungju Lee is good at are stealing, working as a team with his friends and never giving up. His personal flaw is that he never leaves any of his friends behind how it affects him is that when one of his friends gets captured then he will turn himself in. Some of the sad things that happened to Sungju Lee is that Young Bum his friend dies and that his parents abandoned him but some of the happy things that have happened to him are that his gang accepted him right away. Sungju Lee did not win any awards in this book because it is about his childhood so he was too young to win any awards.

Sungju Lee stealingcodyThe thing that surprised me the most is that he lived on the streets for four years. If I could ask Sungju Lee three questions they would be how hard out of ten was it on the streets?, What was the most difficult part of living on the streets?, What helped you the most while you were on the streets? I would not want to be Sungju Lee´s child because he might not be the best dad because he did not really have a dad . I loved Every Falling Star because it was like an adventure book and it taught me that I don't need much to live. I don't think I can compare anything in this book to my life because I don't live on the streets. Some people might not like to read this book is because it is very long or because they don't like sad books. I am happy I choose Sungju Lee because he could live on the streets for four years and that's what makes Sungju Lee so cool. After reading Every Falling Star I think Sungju Lee is a hero to me.
