Today, I went to Seodaemun Prison History Hall. In there, I learned about Korea's freedom fighters and Korea's symbol. In 1910, Korea lost its independence and Japan began to rule Korea. Many freedom fighters such as Yu Gwan-sun, Kim gu, Lee Bong-chang, Eun Bong-gil, Ahn Jung-gun and others. They bombed the Japanese, but many of them were arrested. There were lots of freedom fighters in Korea, so Japan needed to build more prisons. So they built Seodaemun prison. It was the biggest prioson in Korea at that time and it had lots of rooms to torture freedom fighters. The Japanese would dunk the prisoners'  heads into hot water, or poke in between the nail and flesh with sharp nails. If they were dead, they took the dead body to a secret tunnel named Si-gu-mun. The Japanese were cruel!

 Korea's national flag is called Taeguekgi. Taeguekgi has Geon, Gon, Gam, and Lee which mean heaven, earth, moon, and sun. Also, they mean humanity, righteousness, wisdom, and manners. They are from oriental philosophy. The national flower of Korea is the Rose of Sharon.(Mugungwha) It symbolizes patience and endurance. It is in lyrics of Korea's national anthem, Ae-guk-ka. Ahn, Ik-tae wrote it in 1937.

 Our country, Korea was the colony of Japan for 36years. Many freedom fighters died for Korea. I think I should respect our freedom fighters.

*Good Job! you can't say "The Japan" it's either "The Japanese" or "Japan". No "the" before "Japan"
