Book Review of Dear Juno

Character: Juno, grandmother, mother,father

Setting: Seoul, Juno’s house, village, grandmother’s house

Plot: Juno didn't know the language his grandmother speaks.


The story “Dear Juno” is written by Soyung Pak, it tells a story about Juno. Juno watched as lights soar across the sky until they vanish. Juno wondered if any of the planes came from a little village near Seoul. Juno knows the letter he is holding is from his grandmother, but he knew that have to wait for the cleaning to be done so his parents could read the letter to him. He cannot wait and opened the letter. He saw a picture of a cat and some dried flowers. He smiled and then went in to join his mom and dad. He said the flowers were from his grandmother's garden and the cat is grandma's new pet. Then his mother read him the letter, it was exactly what Juno said. The next morning he showed the class his letter and the teacher pinned the letter on the board.He thought of giving a letter to his grandmother so he began to draw. He sent the letter and after a few weeks a letter was sent back, it said his grandmother is coming to visit.


Communication is what we use every day, we use them to share information and give speeches, there are lots of different types of Communication. People from different lands use different communications. In the story Juno does not speak the language that his grandma says, so he used the pictures of what his granny wanted to say. Even though he didn't know the words he used, what's with the words and it's a communication that uses pictures, no words. A kind of communication is for people that cannot see, and uses little dots so the people that cannot see read letters by touch. Some people that are deaf communicate by pictures because they can not hear. If you ever meet a deaf person you could use your fingers to make it out of shape for that person to see. There are other illnesses that can make you not read like normal people so there's other languages for people that are sick.


Love is about thinking of others and doing everything to help not just your friend, but different people, some people that you didn’t even know. In the story Juno is kind because he thought of his grandma and gave her a letter even though it's just pictures and no words. It's truly good from having a letter and makes you feel warm and full of love.Love is about thinking of others and thinking about giving something to them if they have given something to you. Like when a person invites you to a birthday party you should give that person something that the person wants for a birthday present. so you didn't just go there with nothing you. If you're loving and will think of people and give something to them they'll give something back to you. Love is not just about this love is about all the things you've done to be good and helpful with others to give something they want.


Family is the closest members closest to you, It does not mean friends it means your mom your dad your grandmother… Those are family members. If the family members live in a group that is separated I will turn into A family. In the story the grandmother is on another land. That means you’re not in the same place. So Juno’s family is not from the place they live now. But they’ll still connect with their Family and they will never forget about them. So when Juno’s grandmother is in a far away land, they still write letters to each other. If you are not with some of your family members you can Send letters or use WeChat to connect with them every day about the good days and the bad days of your life. Family can help you when you’re in trouble. They can help you solve the problem. But if they cannot solve the problem you should still be thankful and thank them for helping you. Even though families are far away they still help each other.


In conclusion we know that kindness gets paid by those who you helped and they will never forget what good deal you ever did. Kindness also can help you from not being selfish and live a happy life not to die in the wicked bad of you and live in the happiness and sunshine. If someone is deaf and your family then your family needs to learn how to communicate without a family number because he or she cannot hear, there is also an illness that cannot let people see so they use dots to read and see. There are lots of ways to communicate. If a person is from another land and they went to another land, people don’t know that person's language because it’s not spoken in that place. I learned that family members are important, you should speak with them, but if they are in far away places you should write letters and use WeChat to talk. Also they can help you get out of trouble. And if you are sad you can talk to them to make yourself happy.
