Book of the Month

Acceptance is when a person agrees to the reality of a situation, (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it, protest it, or leave.

In Jin Woo, Eve Bunting, depicts a deep emotional understanding of acceptance, The reassurance and gentle leadership of David's parents help him to accept his new baby brother without losing his parents' love. Jin Woo is a moving story about an adoptive family and the love they all have to spare.

  1. I think that this book shows a little jelousy in the beginning because he was annoyed that was all his parents cared about, not him. then he learned that they really did love him. then he actaully loved jing woo.

  2. I think the book shows kindess because first David was kind of jelous of Jing Whoo coming because his parents were paying more attetion about the new baby coming. After a while David started liking the baby.

  3. At the beggining, David did not think he was ready for a baby brother. He felt nervous about getting a baby brother. David changed by seeing his new baby brother. David was really happy and kind about his little brother. David changed in the story. At first he was kind of nervous about Jin Woo and after he felt happy to have a new brother. Thats what we saw in the story "Jin Woo."
