MY SIXTH GRADE BOOK REPORT

A Single Shard is an adventurous historical fiction that leads one boy's life to an adventure so great he will remember it forever. The boy's name is Tree-Ear and he is an orphan that lives with a man named Crane-Man. The village was Ch'ulp'o, Korea during the twelfth-century. He is barley surviving on scrapes of food under a bridge. He gets curious and accidentally breaks a potter named Min's pot. Then Tree-Ear has to work for Min for nine days. Later on after his work is finished he will work more, hoping to become a potter like Min. An emperor's assistant comes in hope of finding a great potter like Min. There is another potter who is just as great as Min and he is Kang. The theme is Tree-Ear trying to become a potter. The conflict is Tree-Ear's quest to become a potter. I liked this novel because it shows how live was in the twelfth-century at Korea. This is a great book for people who think History is a great genre.

Third Quarter Book Report

The book a Single Shard, is a fiction book. It is about an orphan boy, named Tree-ear, who lives under a bridge in Ch'ulp'o, Korea. He lives with a man named Crane-man. One day, Tree-ear was walking and saw a potter working. When the potter Min left, the boy went over to the already made pottery. The boy was dreaming of creating works of art just like Min. Tree-ear was so caught up in his dream that he knocked over one of his pots. Tree-ear had to help the potter to catch up by collecting wood, for nine days in a row. After those long hard days, Tree-ear decides to work longer, hoping to become a potter. Min then gave Tree-ear the job of cutting clay. Min's wife is very kind to Tree-ear.For example she provided food for him and Crane-man. To thank her for her kindness, Tree-ear goes on a journey to give the king, Min's work. Tree-ear thought that the potters happiness would make her happy as well. Little does Tree-ear know, this journey is long and hard. This book shows the importance of family, Korean pottery, and adventure. I liked this book because it was nice how the potter and the boy come closer, from the beginning of the book to the end. I did not like this book because of what happened to Tree-ear on the mountain during his journey. Overall I thought this book was fantastic!

Simple and perfect.

What an absolutely captivating story! I am somewhat familiar with stories from Japan or China, but I guess I am just oblivious to contemporary child-aimed Korean-inspired literature. What a horrible elementary school teacher I am. Anywho, I first heard about this book back in college in a children's lit class... but never bothered to read it until my little sister found it. She read it and recommended it to me.

And thus I was captivated by its gorgeous simplicity that made a truly inspiring fable as well as a piece of historical fiction.

The story follows the adventures of Tree-Ear, a young orphan who becomes the servant/apprentice of a master potter. Tree-Ear yearns to learn pottery, but his broken-hearted master refuses to teach. When Master Min is summoned to send samples of his work to the royal court, it is Tree-Ear's task to make the delivery.

This is a beautiful, inspiring story that touches on love as well as art. It brought tears to my eyes.

I would recommend this book to all the people because this book has mixed emotions. In the beginning you feel sorry for tree-ear and crane-man because they live under a bridge and because their poor. And you are horrified when tree-ear gets BADLY injured. But towards the end you feel good for tree ear and what he accomplished. But their you go again you are sobbing,horrified to what has happedned to a certain someone death. But on the other hand you feel good about another persons death. IM not only saying that this is a good book to read im saying this is book that gets your hopes up,this is a book that gives you a little boost when your feeling down. Lat but not least this is a book that lets YOU express who YOU are . Thank You for letting me into your homes(computers) well unless you at work so that would mean thank you for letting me into your jobs anyway goodbye and dont forgett to buy this book unless you already have it.
