Dear Ms. Linda Sue Park,
My grandson has told me about your book "When My Name Was Keoko" and after reading it, I have realised that I am the character in the book, "Tae-Yul". I noticed that there are several events that are similar to what I had experienced during World War II and the Japanese occupation, when I was a teenage. It also relates the same thing as the Japanese and my family.
These are some of the 10 events that I should probably list down to prove to you that I am "Tae-Yul".
1. Changing of Korean names to Japanese names
2. Sharon tree forced to be chopped off in all Korean homes
3. Tae-Yul's bike being taken away by Japanese soldiers
4. Tae-Yul volunteering to work at airstrip
5. All Korean houses' metals being taken away
6. When the whole war is over
I understand that you would not believe me because I have the information from your book. I have compiled everything that can be known as evidence into my old scrapbook that i used to write in during World War II. I hope you would take the time to look through it and I hope that I can gain your trust that I am "Tae-Yul".
Yours Sincerely,
Rhee Jae-Sun
