Plot of Lost Names

The plot of lost names starts with the exposition of course where a family is crossing the Tuman river looking for opportunity in Manchuria as the Japanese take over the providence of Korea. The main character "boy" goes through hardship at first when he doesn't have friends, and he gets in trouble with the Japanese teachers. He stands out from the others because he is the son of a noble family that supposedly is a protestant Christian family that is dangerous to the Japanese. Over the many years he realizes that there are secrets he has not been notified of such as the Soviet Union supposedly allying with the Japanese, which isn't true; it's the other way around. Also, the Korean books are stopped being published, and the Koreans have to loose their names and get a Japanese name. This is the rising action where everything builds up. What the Japanese are doing is trying to unwittingly consume the Koreans and turn them into Japanes without them realizing by taking over their culture and enforcing their's. The climax occurs when the boy finally realizes that physical torture is what the Japnese are using to hush the Koreans , but what they can't do is take their spirits, which is what we must always have. The boy doesn't cry when the japanese hits him with a bamboo stick because the boy knows too much of what the Japanese are trying to hide. For example, rubber! I think the falling action really starts when the boy learns from his mom that the US has dropped two atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima and that the emperor realizes too that he must surrender. Finally the resoulution occurs when the emperor officially states he surrenders and when the Japanese policemen surrender as well. Korea is in joy and peace, well for now until the Korean War!!
