Countries in the News: Korea
Kieran Walsh
Review by Akiera
This book explains how Korea was partitioned into North Korea and South Korea. They are both on a peninsula that extends nearly 600 miles. The United States controls South Korea, that is why they live an average life like we do. However, North Korea is a communist country controlled by a dictator. Mostly everyone in Korea is Korean and works in industry. School and sports are fundamental in both North and South Korea. Hopefully, in the future, North and South Korea will unite in peace and harmony as one country. I recommend this book for lovers of foreign countries, grades 5 - 7.
I remember talking a little about North Korea in civics class the other day... We were talking about how, since it's controlled by a dictator, it has a command economy.

I find it sad that Korea has to live their day to day life by listening to an dictator rather than doing what they want with their freedom.-Alyssa
