    In the story ¨A Single Shard¨ a boy named tree ear changes in the story. At the start tree ear is an orphan that lives under a bridge with a guy named crane man.Tree ear lived with crane man when he was 2.He also lived there because his parents died and his uncle left and there was a sickness so the monks couldn't take care of him also. So the monks gave tree ear to crane man.It also shows he is poor because he says ¨Breakfast that morning was a feast¨ and all he had was rice and marrow from a bone also meaning he is happy for what he has. He also wants to learn pottery I know this because in the text it states he ¨Caught his breath in delight¨ which means that he saw a miracle.Also he loved to watch him make the pottery.At the end tree ear broke a piece of pottery and had to pay him back by making pottery for min. In all tree ear was happy because he now is going to make pottery.

  3. In the story, “A Single Shard”, a boy named Tree-ear is a 11 or 12 year old kid who lives under a bridge with a man named Crane-man. Tree-ear wants to be a potter, he’s interested in it. Everyday, he would go watch the best potter in Korea. The potter’s name was Min. One day, Min wasn’t at his home, Tree ear entered Min’s home and went to look at the pottery. There was an egg that was outside, Tree-ear was hungry but he didn't bother getting the egg. He held a pottery Min made and accidentally dropped it. Min enters his home and asks Tree-ear questions. Tree-ear explained that he was trying to steal, he was just looking at his work. Min orders him to leave, but Tree-ear asks if he could help so things could go faster. Min agrees and lets him help and Tree-ear runs to tell Crane-man the great news that he finally has real work.

The next morning tree ear ate breakfast he said it was a feast but it was really just marrow from chicken bone.Tree ear thought it was a feast because he was so hungry.but he was just happy with the little they have.towards the middle of the story when tree ear was younger he has asked for the story often like if hearing it over and over again he might reveal something more what his father's trade had been what his mother had looked like where his uncle had gone but there was never anything more.it no longer mattered to him.in the text it says that If there was more to having a home that crane -man and the bridge.tree ear has neither knowledge nor needed it. then towards the end of the story Tree ear was really hungry he saw this potery thing when people were making pottery.he was excited to watch people make pottery,so he stayed because he wants to know more about pottery. Then tree ear stepped forward then the guy said you would not need to teach so much as you think sir.I have been watching you for many months now.I know how you mix the clay and turn the wheel,then the guy said come tomorrow,he was so happy,for the first time in his life he would have real work to do.overall I think in the beginning he changed from poor and shy and always wanted to make pottery,now he can make pottery and now he has real work to do.

    In the story “A single shard” the character tree ear changes from the beginning from the end based on the events on the story. In the beginning of the story tree ear was born with no parents and was brought to crang-man because there was a sickness in the kingdom. But when the sickness ended tree ear wanted to stay with crang-man because he had been with him for long time an felt comfort. When tree ear was older he wanted to know more about his past and asked crang-man. But the first thing he wanted to know is how did crang-man get his name. Crang-man told tree ear that when he was born his leg was very skinny but people said he would die. But he actually lived more than his family but he needed money so he sold everything and now he lives under the tree. But tree ear wanted to know what happened to his family but grang-man said that his family died of a sickness. Grang-man said that he came to him when he was about 2 which made him 12. Sinse tree ear lived with grang man he had to help to he went to go get water for crang- man but when he went to go get it he always stopped to look at his favorite potter min. The reason he likes watching him do pottery is because he away did it outside instead of inside because he didn't mind if people watched because he know that no one can copy his skill. One day tree ear went to go look at min do poetry but he wasn't there.

    In the story “A Single Shard” the main character ,Tree-ear, changes from the beginning of the story to the end as a result of events. For example, at the beginning of the story Tree-ear is an orphan boy that lives under a bridge with a man named Crane-Man. Tree-ear is named after a mushroom that grows up with parents therefore his name fits.
    Tree-ear has also been fascinated by pottery and wants to make pottery. His village, Ch’ulp’o, is famous for its clay, so a lot of famous potterers live there including a man named Min. Min is considered “The Master Potterer” In Tree-ears point of view.
    Tree-ear likes to go watch Min make poetry a lot, so he went to go watch him again after finishing his feast of bone marrow and rice. Tree-ear showed up at his usual hiding place to watch Min make pottery. He hid between the leaves of the paulownia tree. He noticed that Min wasn’t there, so he decided to take a close up look on all his pottery to sell. He noticed one that really seemed to stand out as it wasn’t as symmetric as the other pottery. He took the irregular pottery which was a box and opened it only to find another box that fit perfectly into it. Min was examining the box and wondered how he did it before Min showed up and shouted at hm for thieving his pottery. Tree-ear dropped the box and now it’s broken. Tree-ear explained himself that he would never lie or steal as that would bring him down to the level of a dog. Min believes him and mutters under his breath that he lost three days of work. Tree-ear hears this and purposes that he helps him make pottery to pay off what he broke. Min agrees after a lot of convincing from Tree-ear. Min says that Tree-ear owes him 9 days of work. Tree-ear leaves Min’s house excited that he finally has a real job. Later, at the bridge Tree-ear tells Crane-man. That is how Tree-ear, a boy who always watched pottery change to a boy who makes pottery.

    The book called A Single Shard there is a boy name tree era and is an orphan he was sent to under a bridge with a man named Craneman and is trying to take care of him. This man was his father figure because his parents died and the monks took him to craneman and that's because there was a sickness in the monks temple so they took him to craneman. And they’ve been together ever since, then one day tree ear found a bone and some rice and he ate the bone marrow and said that it was a feast. That tells me that he really didn’t have money or was really poor. Then one day he came upon a man making pottery and was amazed and gasped very quietly when he saw the man making pottery. Then several days had passed and the man was not there so tree ear look and had the guts to go and see the work of art min/ the pottery man so he tiptoed to the shelf were there were many works of art and then saw a chicken and said “maybe i’ll get that egg for food “then didn’t he kept going forward towards the shelf then he found a box and was puzzled and then opened it but there was even more boxes in that box so he openevery box until he got to a small one opened and then then min came and said thief!but the tree ear bows down and apologized then dropped it on the floor then they get into an argument and then min says i want you to work for me and help me make a new pot for 9 days.

  16. Mia Tree-ear changes in the beginning of the story to the end as a result of the events. In the beginning Tree-ear is an orphan living under the bridge with with Crane-man because he grew up without his parents. His parents brought Tree-ear to the village to live with his uncle, but his uncle left. He has lived under the bridge since he was 2 years so he is about 12 because 10 years have passed. He is thankful for the little things because one morning he ate marrow from the inside of a bone and ate rice. The next day Tree-ear watched Min, (which is someone who is a master at pottery). Tree-ear watches skillfully at how Min would get chunks of clay and with his foot he would spin the base of the wheel. Min was finished with his vase, until he smashed it on the wheel, feeling ashamed. Tree-ear was in shock because he thought from his perspective it looked great. Several days have passed when Tree-ear last visited Min. This time Tree-ear went in Min’s house to go see the things he’s made with clay. He saw a duck and then he found a plain box. He opened it and inside the box there was another box and another. He asked himself how did Min cut them so perfectly? All of a sudden Min shouts and Tree-ear drops the box. Tree-ear was begging and told him the truth about coming to admire his work because he was no thief. Min let Tree-ear go, ………………

    How does Tree ear change from the beginning of the story to the end as a result of the events? In the beginning we can see Tree ear live under bridge with the man call Crane-man. From there we know that he is poor, live without parents. Then when Tree ear ask Crane-man how old is he, Crane-man show he the wall on the bridge it has deep scratches. Crain-man explain that he keep counting Tree ear’s age by this make mark on the wall. There are ten mark on the wall, but Crain-man explain exactly Tree ear is 12 years old. Next, we know Tree ear’s past. After his parent were died. The man, who is pay from the kindly monk for bring Tree ear to Ch’ulp’o, they know Tree ear has an uncle live at here. When they came Ch’ulp’o his uncle is left. The monk can take Tree ear and leave him at bridge with Crane-man when he’s 2 years old. And Tree ear doesn’t want to find his uncle, he just want to stay with Crane-man. Now we know he doesn’t want to has family just live peacefully. In the sentence “ Breakfast that morning was a feast” rice and marrow from chicken bone. That mean he happy with every little things he has. He excited watched Min make pottery.
