A Family in South Korea (Families the World over)

Gwynneth Margaret Ashby

4.9/5 (20304 ratings)

Description:A farm family in South Korea and a factory family in Hong Kong are presented through the eyes of a family member, 11-year-old Chun Yung Mee and 10-year-old Tse Yik Ming, respectively. The South Korean family is more exotic in terms of living quarters and adherence to old customs. Yik Ming's Hong Kong is typical urban life at its overcrowded best. Despite a few touches of Chinese customs such as hanging clothes to dry on bamboo poles and the home Buddhist shrine, this could be New York. Yik Ming's name is given in Chinese characters and romanized transcription, but the two do not correspond. Yik and Tse should be switched in order to be beside their correct character equivalents. Otherwise, these are good, solid family portraits, emphasizing a child's point of view. Color photographs are informative and text-appropriate. A facts section at the end of each provides useful, up-to-date information.John Philbrook, San Francisco Public LibraryGr 3-5We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
