Script: Hey guys I’m the jklmnop Q of F block! Are there any famous korean novels read by people worldwide? Unfortunately there are only a few of them, but among them, there is one book that conveyed our culture through the whole world and also touched millions’ hearts. It is the “Single Shard”, the story about a poor orphan working hard and gaining success in the future. Since I know that most of you read it in Middle school, I’d like to go into deeper analysis that you might have missed in your young minds, hehe. One should have noticed that the book was sort of different from other American books. Within the book, there were many parts where the author stopped by and explained the korean cultures. This was necessary for the book to work because foreigners needed the explanations to actually understand the book. A Single Shard deals with various themes of love and care, death, and art. Tree Ear, who is considered as one of the lowest positions in the society, still gets one of the deepest love by many people. Among the three people, the two contrary people who love tree ear are Potter Min and Crane Man. When Crane Man gives warm, continuos, showing love, Potter Min shows deep, indirect, inconsistent love. Tree ear tries his best in whatever environment he is placed in, and later he accomplishes all due to his efforts. However, there are also sad parts in the story that deals with a sad theme, death. The death of Crane Man was probably the saddest event that tree ear has gone through, but the death was both positive and negative to tree ear. It was sad to lose a friend, but it was a chance for him to become independent and also get a new foster family. It is amazing that such event that should be sad was a positive factor in Tree ear’s life. Lastly, the art factor is very important throughout the whole book. It relates art to life. The creating a pottery needs duplicate because no one knows how the wind will blow, how humid or dry it is, or whether it will rain or not. This is like preparing for mistakes in life because not everything goes as you wish in life, you have to prepare for different ways of handling the problems. Also, the Single Shard, the most important factor, depicts that by looking at the minimal piece of part of a persons life, you can know what kind of life he lived in. This is important because if one piece of the whole is beautiful, the rest is also considered, and would be beautiful. The favortie scene of mine in fact, is the scene where tree ear shows the single shard to the missionary. It was so brave, touching, and thoughtful. I hope this book report reminded you of what an awesome book a single shard was, and I reccomend reading it again some time! The end of Q’s Book Report!

I liked your sound effects, but you could have added some background music.

I really liked how your tone of voice wasn't boring to listen to. I could see that you spent some time anlyzing your book, but I think it would've been better if you had more effects and music. - Joshua Park 9F
