I am thinking a good theme for this book is finding a new prospective. I think finding a new prospective is a good theme for this book because, remember in the third chunk we found out that Kee-Sup did not actually want to go to the mountains and remember when it was like looking in a way with a new prospective and taking a blindfold off of your eyes? Well that is how I think that a good theme for this book is finding a prospective.

what do you guys think about this theme
is peer pressure a good theme for kite fighters.
because there was peer pressure on kee-sup to go to the mountains by his father also there was peer pressure on the dad by his ancestors to honor kee-sup more then young-sup also it said on page 99 that the father did not speak of the kite festival because behind his silence lay great disapproval
This is Mr. Conrad,
I disagree with you Dr. Moore because Kee-sup had a reason why he didn't tell his father that he didn't want to go. Kee-sup didn't want to admit it because it would have been disrespectful to his father and his ancestors. Plus, Kee-sup was required to go to the mountains too.

I don't think Kee-Sup even payed attention to Young-Sup at all. Well he might have payed attention a little but I don't think Kee-Sup thought that he was taking things for granted.And I agree because he got everything for granted too much and he might have felt sorry for Young-Sup. And I think Kee-Sup at first was a person who did not pay attention at Young-Sup but after reading this chunk I thought maybe Kee-Sup changed a little from not paying attention to Young-Sup to paying attention to him.
I wanted to talk about how Kee-sup was able to ask his father about how Young-sup was a better kite flyer and he should fly for the king. Also, why Wouldn't have Kee-sup told his father that he didn't want to go to the trips to the mountain. Well, I think the reason is that Kee-sup might have thought he got everything for granted after Young-sup shouted at him and also that Young-sup was being treated like he was invisible, enough and maybe he thought that he would let his father down in the kite flying contest. so I think he knew that Yong-sup would much better so that is why he was enough to talk to his father
so was I was wondering if somebody disagreed with it
