  1. I would be friends with the two because they have a good friend ship system(nice to each other in lots of occasions). They love to fly kites and I think that's fun because it's a cool way to play with them.I would love to be taught to fly kites with them. They have a good and happy brotherhood.

  2. I would want to be friends with both because Kee-sup needs to do everything for the family and doesn't complain. Young-sup teaches things patiently.I know that because when he was teaching Kee-sup he always did the wrong thing at the wrong time and Young-sup doesn't get mad or frustrated.

  3. I would not like to have Kee sup because he sounds very boring and bossy. Kee sup is so busy so I cant even ask him a question. Kee sup too picky when designing the Kings kite. Kee sup would also get all the attention.

  5. I am not sure which brother I would like to be friends with, because I still feel that I don't know them well enough. Both Young-sup and Kee-sup even each other out in unexpected way's at times.

  6. If I were to choose one of them to be a friend I would choose Kee-sup, because he cares a lot about you and he supports you in almost everything you need. For example in chapter 9, Kee-sup helped Young-sup because their father said that Kee-sup needed to fly the kite at the festival. But Kee-sup talked to him and said that his father needed to let Young-sup fly the kite because he is the best at flying kites. I also think that Young-sup got a little bit bad and really nervous in the middle of the book, because he wasn't the one to fly the kite at the festival. But then Kee-sup told him everything and he is a little bit happier. But I still think that I would choose Kee-sup as a friend instead of Young-sup.

  7. I'm not so sure, because Kee-sup was very considerate when he told his father that it should be Young-sup that should fly the kite. Also, he was the one that asked his father to pay a little boy to buy the seventh kite. But, Young-sup is very modest, because when he was the one that could fly the kite better then Kee-sup, he didn't brag. And when it was the king that chose Young-sup to fly, he didn't brag. The reason I can't choose, is because modesty and consideration are two very important traits that both characters have.

  8. I would like to be friends with both. I would like to be friends with Young-sup because sometimes he is really nice but sometimes he get`s really mad and when he wants something he goes for it and does not quit. I would also be friends with Kee-sup because he tries to solve the problems by him self and he does not want to make the problem worst. But sometimes he get`s very mad and mean.

  9. I would like to be Young-Sups friend because I think we think and feel alike. For example if it was me having his fillings when his father didn't let him fly the kite I would also be sad and think it was unfair, I would also be stone faced like he was. I also understand his jealousy when his brother went to the mountains. When Kee-Sup told him about the reel if it was me I would have felt all the pride also run out just like him. I also think he has a lot of respect for older just like my family's rule (except my parents). The only differences between us are that he is a boy, that he flies kites well, is the youngest brother and that he has that much respect for his dad.

  11. I think I am liking Kee-sup better because he is being nice to his younger brother and I kind of feel bad for Kee-sup because he is going through a lot of pressure. It is very hard being the older sibling.I understand what Kee-sup is going through.

  12. I like them both because they are both nice. Kee-sup admits things and Young-Sup would give me good advice and he is good at teaching/giving advices.

  13. I'm not sure because both have great characteristics,both of them are very obedient,strong and hard working.Kee-sup is the eldest brother,but never gets what he wants and tries to be the "perfect son",since his father wants that.Young-sup is willing to fly the king's kite,and he is very impulsive.He also tries to be the second "perfect son",to keep his family pride and to not get his father angry.

  14. I will pick Young-sup and Kee-sup. I will pick both because it would be fun to play with both of them because there will be a kite for both of them but they could make me a kite. It would be fun to play with them and fly a kite with them and meet the king.

  23. I think I would like to have young supp as a friend because in the book he is friends with the king and the king is lonely that means that he would help me when I am lonely.

  24. I would not be friends with young-sup because his passion is kite flying and my passion is horseback riding, drawing, and singing. I also wouldn't be friends with him because he's always happy about kite flying. The other reason that I wouldn't be friends with him because he only thinks of kite and I only think of horses and other things.

  33. I would love to be Young-Sup's friend because, first, i'd like to learn how it is to be a younger brother to help me appropriately treat my brother. Second, i'd LOVE to learn to fly a kite, like he taught the king, and last, but not least, the book tells me I could trust Young-Sup, and he'd be a true friend for me.

  34. I would like to be Young-Sup's friend because he is the youngest like me and we have the same attitude He also loves to fly kites I remember in chp.4 when he earned the reel and that is really hard working to earn it so it would be fun for him to tell me the strategies to fly a kite, so that's why I want to be friends with Young-Sup

  35. I would like to be friend with Young-sup for a few reasons. The first one is he is about my age and he seems to be friendly for example he never shouts a Kee-sup or his father. Other reason is Young-sup is a very good kite flier and he could teach me. Bye the book I can infer Young-sup has a very exited life and he fights for what he wants for example he really wanted the reel and he tried his best to get it.

  37. I would like to be friends with Young- sup because in chapter 1 it explains how he has this talent with kites, and I would like him to teach me how to fly kites so well. Also Young-sup is friends with the king and if I were friends with Young-sup the king could be my friend too!
