How our story is linked to the novel:
Our story is linked to the story book by several events that happen. All of this events are quite similar. In the novel, the ending was pretty sad as Uncle did not come back, but for our storybook, Uncle will be back and they will lived happily ever after. Most of the events are still the same, just that we'll replaced the words with pictures and some decriptions.

The Outline of Story:
(1940)
We'll start the story with the Kim family in the house picking their Japanese name. This was the part where Uncle was angry. At the thought of looking at Uncle's enraged expression, Sun-hee, the youngest in the family, thought of the Olympic Games held in 1936, Europe.
She remembered Uncle was angry at the Japanese for changing the name of the Korean runner. He was so outraged that he change the name of the runner on the Japanese newspaper. Uncle was badly beatened by the Japanese then.
The story then goes by a year.
(1941)
It'll start in a day when all the koreans were ordered by the Japanese to cut down the Sharon trees in their house. But Omoni asked Tae-yul to digged out a tree that Omoni planted a few years ago and placced it in an old ceramic pot. And so, they hid the small plant in the tool shelves.
(1942-43)
One day, Tae-yul was riding his bicycle in a fast speed. Two Japanese soldiers saw him and took it away. Abuji, who was beside him did not try to stop the Japanese soldier. This made Tae-yul greatly disappointed and upset with Ahbuji.
(1942-43)
Later that year, Sun-hee's friend, Tomo told Sun-hee to keep a look out for all the metal-made furniture and tools in her house but Sun-hee mistake it as an alarm for Uncle to run away. But it was a false alarm, but uncle was not going to come back. Sun-hee regretted her actions and felt deeply depressed.
(1943-44);(1945)
One day, while Sun-hee was at school, the Americans dropped leaflets. It was the leaflet about the Japanese Imperial Army getting weaker. But at this time, Tae-yul decideed to become a Kamikaze. Although Ahbuji objects his decision,  he still went on.
The war was finally over and the Japanese lost the war. But there's still no news of Uncle and Tae-yul.
Three months had past, Tae-yul and Uncle finally came back, and the Kim lived happily ever after.
