“Sun-hee and Her Family: One Year Later”
In this activity, students will write a creative epilogue to the novel that describes each of the characters in the family one year after the end of WWII.
While Park’s novel ends on the positive note of Sun-hee and the family reuniting, Koreans still experienced tumultuous political, economic, and social changes in the years following WWII. Working in a small group, you will write a creative epilogue for one of the main characters to talk about their new life one year after the end of WWII.

Use the following questions to help shape your epilogue:
