272 Words2 Pages
The novel A Single Shard, is a novel about an orphan named Tree-ear. When Tree-ear’s parents died he was brought to Ch’ulp’o, where Crane-man took him in and cared for him. Tree-ear changes a lot throughout the course of the story as well as all the other characters. At the beginning of the story, Tree-ear was very laid-back and easy going but still energetic. Examples of this being throughout the first few chapters he does what he is supposed to do without running around screaming like the other kids but gets excited when something happens. On page 3 he says “Crane-man! A good thing you greeted me… use the proper words!” This shows that he was happy and excited, but wasn’t acting like a normal kid his age being screaming and jumping around.
