Long Answer

1. The novel is written with a dual first-person perspective: Sun-hee as an adolescent female and Tae-yul as a teenage male. This dual first-person narration allows the reader to have insight into both the young female and male perspectives of their wartime experiences. (Various chapters)

2. Since the title When My Name Was Keoko uses the simple past tense for “is,” the reader can assume that the name Keoko (i.e., Sun-hee’s Japanese name) does not reflect the present situation, and that the Japanese occupation has ended. (Various chapters)
