Kite Fighters Book

I would give the book, "The Kite Fighters," 5 out of 5 stars. The book takes place in Korea and wonderfully describes the relationship between two brothers. The two brothers were Kee-sup and Young-sup. Since Keep-sup was older than Young-sup, he was given most of the respect in the family. They both love kites and specialize in parts of a kite. In the book, the two brothers work together to build a magnificent kite. Besides their rivalry, the end product was fabulous. This shows that with teamwork, anything can be accomplished.


When I was reading the book, I really wanted to feel what Young-sup really felt. I've never had a brother. I didn't really know what having a older brother that gets all the respect will feel like. As I was reading the book, I remember how my classmates would complain about their siblings. They would say that their siblings are very annoying and bother them everyday. However, from my perspective, I would love to have a sibling, especially one like Young-sup that has the same interests as you. The sibling can console you when you're sad, regale you when you're bored and care for you when you need it. I think that Young-sup shouldn't hate his brother but instead truly appreciate who he has and treat each day he has with his brother as a gift.


This book really made me think a lot. I truly recommend this book.
