Every Falling Star

Slide Two Pt 1

This quote is from the beginning of the book, and it shows the author’s viewpoint as a child.

He hasn’t known hunger yet or troubles.

Slide 4 Pt 1

This quote shows the narrator’s character growth, where he once believed in the government, he now sees it for what it is.

Slide 4 Pt 2

The government that he thought would save him has now abandoned him to starve.

Slide 4 Pt 3

He no longer has his parents or the security he used to. His perspective is wildly different from the beginning of the book.

Slide 4 Pt 4

It changed because he was forced to change.

Verdict Pt 1

This book is amazing. It was an excellent glimpse into a country that we hear so much about but don’t know much about.

Verdict Pt 2

Sungju Lee’s story seems so dystopian and crazy, but the craziest thing about it is that it’s all true. It all happened, and it’s still happening today.

Verdict Pt 3

 The book serves as a reminder that there are still people suffering under that regime and that they will continue to suffer unless we do something about it.
