1 tree ear solved the mystery of Kang's pottery by noticing how he did everything secretly, like he took his stuff into the kiln with a cover over it. And tree ear spied on him in his hut, noticing his different colors of clay.
2 It doesn't really matter because he didn't tell anyone. He let the news go out before telling Min.
3 He did this method so he could be sure that he got his best color out of the kiln, because all of teh pieces fire a little differently
4 At first the look on his face shifted and then he said the work was unmistakeable and he seemed pleased
5 I agree to the statement because whoever is keeping the secret obviously didn't want anyone to know the secret so I believe crane-man is right about this wise saying
6 Min doesn't want to show him that he is happy about what tree ear is doing because he doesn't want him to know that he likes tree ear or that he needs his help. Min wants him to think he could do it by himself.

1) Tree-ear solved the mystery activities of Kang becausehe saw that Kang was commming to the Kiln very early in the morining and then later in the day Tree-ear went to Kang's kiln site and he saw that none of his work was there.
2) In my opinion Tree-ear should not have been spying on Kang because Tree-ear was budding into Kangs business but Tree-ear was just ccruriouse.
3) Min made several identical peices beacsue to fire the peices he needed to put them over a fire. Min made identical peices becasue if one time it was windy outside then the clay would fire differently, and Min would see witch peice would be the best.
4) Tree-ear knew that the emissary edmired Min's work because Min had made more replicas of any potter in Ch'ulp'o. Also everyone in Ch'ulp'o had a very good eye and Tree-ear new that the emisarry's eye would be excspecialy percise and the emissary would only send expert potters.
5) I do not agree with crane-man because when i think of stealing I think of taking something or using something the same way and call it your own but what crane-man is saying is a whole different thing from stealing.
6) In my opinion Min is being very unappreciated to Tree-ear because Tree-ear is working very hard and Min isnt giving Tree-ear any credit.

1. Tree-ear solved Kang's mysterious behavior by peeping through a hole in Kang's shed. He saw him carving out the little petals and filling then with the colored clay.
2. I say Tree-ear shouldn't of looked in Kangs shed and spied on him. I say that because it is a violation of Kang's privacy and if he told Min he would of stolen it too.
3. Min made mutipul identical vases because sometimes to pottery will get stained with brown tinge of just tinted brown from the uncontrolable kiln. He needs to make many so that at least 2 or 3 clay works will come out the nice transulent green.
4. Tree-ear knew that the emissary admired Min's work because he stayed a long time viewing Min's melon shaped bowls. He also saw that the house the man that he stayed at had wine glasses made by Min.
5. I agree with Crane-man's statement because if a man does not show anyone his work than know one really knows what it is unless you spy on them. His work might not get out if you decide not to tell, but sometimes people do nd that is true stealing.
6. Min won't bring himself to complent Tree-ear, but he will change his behavior by a quick smile or something. Then he'll go back to his mean slef and yell at Tree-ear to hide his happiness. For example on page 68 and 69 it says Tree-ear ran to go get some shurbs from behind Min's house then when he presents them to Min looked pleased then he went back to his work. Tree-ear knew Min was pleased even though he yelled at him for not bring a branch with more blossums.
p.s. you spelt SOMETHING wrong in question 6.
1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang’s activities by watching him and spying on him for a few days.
2. I don’t think Tree-ear should have spied on Kang because if Kang had wanted people to see what he was doing, he would have sat outside for everyone to see.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery because some may turn out to have bits of brownish coloring.
4. Tree-ear knew the Emissary admired Min’s work because he took a long time to look at it. Also he said that he could tell that he made the bowl he ate out of the previous night because of it’s technique.
5. I agree with Crane-man because Kang wouldn’t have made an effort to hide his idea if he wanted people to see it. And if he found his idea out of trickery or stealth and Kang didn’t want him to it would be even worse if he told his master.
6. Min’s behavior is kind of mean. For example earlier in the book he gives Tree-ear instructions to chop wood. He never told him to load it into the kiln, yet when he doesn’t he’s angry. Also when Tree-ear has a good idea to put flowers in the vases Min made he tells him he should’ve gotten more flowers. Tree-ear knows that is as close as he’ll get to a clompliment.

1. On page 49 it states Tree-ear spied on Kang while he was wheeling a cart to the kiln but the cart had a cloth over it so Tree-ear knew he was making something special. On page 50 Tree-ear sees the red and white slip. Tree-ear thought potters used the gray-brown clay which mixed well with the celadon glaze.
2. In my opinion, Tree-ear should not of spied on Kang because he knew he would have to deal with whether or not to tell Min.(angel and devil)
3. Min makes several identical pieces of pottery and fires them at the same time because some might be bad but some might be good. For example, if he made one and it came out bad he would have to do the whole process again. This way Min does not have to fire another piece of pottery.
4.Tree-ear knew that the emissary admired Min's work because the emissary said Min's work was unmistakable and the emissary's face seemed to be pleased. Although a lot of people made a melon shape for their pottery Min's was perfect.
5. I agree with Crane-man because if had an idea that was secret but someone took it and used it before the creator used it, he is stealing. I think what Crane-man said was very true and he probably experienced stealing and knows well.
6. Min does not compliment or praise tree-ear because I think he would always do that with his son but his son died of fever. That has made Min concentrate way more on his work because he does not want to think about his son. This is also why Min is mad about Tree-ear wearing his sons coat.

1. Tree-ear solved the mysteries of Kang's activities by spying on him. Tree-ear was watching Kang when he saw the red and wight slips of clay.
2. No Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because Kang deserves privacy. If Kang was keeping something secret he didn't want anyone to know about it so Tree-ear should respect that and wait until he reveals is out in public to learn about it.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery and fired them at the same time because he was a perfectionist and he needed his work to come out perfect the chances of it coming out perfect if there is only one piece are pottery at a time chances are low if there are several there is a better chance that at least one will come out perfectly.
4. Tree-ear knew that the emissary admired Min's work is because when he liked someone’s work he would study it for a while he looked at Min's work for a long time showing he admired it.
5. Crane-man was saying that if you are sneaky and spy on someone to see their idea and then take you are stealing but if you let them reveal it themselves you can use their idea and make it your own. I agree with Crane-man. You can't spy on someone to steal their idea but if they show there idea or tell the public there idea it is the public’s to use and make there own.
6. I think Min's behavior and attitude is showing he is very focused on work and he is a little depressed. It's ok for Min to be a little not appreciative but he should respect and show he respects what people are doing for him. He might care about what Tree-ear does but he is not good at communicating and showing that to Tree-ear or anyone.
S.D. #4
1. Tree-ear saw Kang walking through the village with a cart covered in cloth and he thought that was suspicious, then Tree-ear saw Kang carrying red and white slip which no one uses, then Tree-ear was looking through a knothole in Kang’s shed and he saw Kang making chrysanthemum shaped depressions and filling them with the red and white slip.
2. I think Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because it was wrong.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery because they might not come out right after they are fired, so he was hoping that one or two would come out right.
4. Tree-ear knew that the Emissary admired Min’s work because Tree-ear saw pleasure on the Emissary’s face when he was looking at Min’s pieces.
5. I agree with Crane-man when he says that it is stealing if you gain another man’s idea with stealth or trickery, I think this because it’s not right to use someone else’s idea unless it is shown in public.
6. Min is not very good at showing his emotions, like when Tree-ear gave him the plum branches Min did not Compliment him.

1. Tree-ear solved Kang's secret by spying on him. Tree-ear saw that Kang had two bowls of red and white clay which is a color most potters don't use. Tree-ear also saw Kang doing something in his shed. Then when the royal emissary came to inspect the potter's work Tree-ear saw that Kang had chrysanthemums on his work
2. I think Tree-ear spying was a bad choice because when he did he told Min later and maybe Kang would want to keep it a secret.
3. Min put multiple pieces of pots pottery in the Kiln because no fire burns the same. When he does put several pieces in at one time at least one should come out looking nice.
4.Tree-ear knew that the Emissary liked Min's work because on page 71 Kim says, "The melon shape is common enough. And yet this work is unmistakable." That shows that Kim admires his work.
5. I agree with Crane-man because if you take some one's idea and use it or tell it to the world it is stealing.
6.Min is briefly pleased with Tree-ear but then turns angry again and tells Tree-ear why he didn't get more. However, Tree-ear knows that it was the first time Min didn't yell at Tree-ear for his actions so he must be happy. how

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities by spying on Kang on his way home from working for Min.
2. I don't think Tree-ear should have spied on Kang because it was Kang's idea and if he had wanted the other potters to see his idea he would have shown them.
3. Min made identical pieces of pottery because only a few of the pieces put in the kiln would come out correctly. Also it was an act of safety.
4. Tree-ear knew that the Emissary admired his work because while looking at it, the Emissary smiled for the briefest moment.
5. I completely agree with him because no one wants their idea taken away from them because they were spied on.
6. I think Min could be much nicer to Tree-ear because without him he would struggle a lot.

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang’s activities by watching Kang, Kang tripped because he was focusing on the bowls he was holding and the contents of the bowls came out. Tree-ear took a look at it and it was brick red and white slip (page 50). The other clue of Kang’s mystery was Tree-ear looked through a knothole of Kang’s shed and watched him work on a small wine cup with the red and white slip.
2. Tree-ear shouldn’t have spied on Kang because it is wrong to spy on people. It is also bad because he found out his creation, but he did the right thing because he didn’t tell Min about it until it was shown in public.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery and fired them at the same time because on page 63 it says “when Min made a special piece, he prepared not one but several comma, sometimes as many as ten.” Min thought the more pieces he made the better chance a couple of them would come out a perfect translucent green.
4. Tree-ear knew that the Emissary admired Min’s work because on Page 71 it says the Emissary knew that whoever made the melon-shaped jug also made the wine pot used at the dinner. He said the work was “unmistakable.”
5. I agree with Crane-man that if an idea is being kept secret and is taken by trickery or stealth it is actually stealing. I think this because if someone is taking a test and they are keeping all of their answers a secret, and if someone looks on their paper and stole the answers, this would be cheating or stealing.
6. Min does not compliment or praise Tree-ear much because he doesn’t want Tree-ear to get a big head and think he is doing great. He wants him to strive and do the best he can all of the time. Min’s behavior is kind of rude because on page 66 it says, “Watch that stone there, to the left! Keep the cart even, stupid boy. This way- the path is smoother here. Ai-go! What’s the matter with you? Can’t you keep it from bumping for even one second? You will ruin my work, pighead!” Min’s attitude is very harsh and mean because he screams at Tree-ear all the time.

1.Tree ear solves the mystery of Kang's new clay technique design by seeing Kang repeating steps for the white and red clay to make something says page 58-59.
2.In my opinion Tree ear should have spied on Kang because then he could warn Min about it so Kang will not have a better design.
3.Min made several identical pieces and fired them at the same time because some of the pottery might come out different colors than thought to be or supposed to be and the pottery could have something else could happen to it.
4.Tree ear knows that the emissary admired Min's work because page 71 says the emissary had a pleased expression on his face and said "This word is unmistakable,i knew this jug could be made by no other then the same man who made that pot at last nights dinner".
5.I agree with crane man because if you do take an idea from someone it will be stealing because you are taking the idea someone thought of.
6.Min does not give or show good attitude to Tree ear which in my opinion is very rude because he has been doing so much for Min and then gets Min's bad attitude.

1) Tree ear solves the mystery of Kang's activities by spying on Kang while Tree ear was in the vegetable pit. While he was doing this he saw Kang use his new technique.
2) Tree ear should not have spied on Kang because that was his private technique and by doing this, he is now stuck if he should tell Min or not.
3) Min always makes several identical replicas because back then, the pots sometimes had blotches of brown on them that they could not control. So when he does this he picks the one with the least or no brown on them.
4) Tree ear knew that the Emissary admired Min's work because on page 71 it says "The melon shape is common enough now - I see it often. And yet this work is unmistakable." This shows that the Emissary sees how unique the pot was.
5) I agree with Crane man because if someone has a secret it is not right to go and blurt it out to someone. However once everyone knows about it, it belongs to the world and now anyone can use the idea. So when Tree ear saw a crowd of people around Kang's display he now knows that it belongs to the world and can tell Min.
6) Min doesn't show much emotion and I think that it has something to do with his son dying from the fever. This is probably why Min's orders are curt. For example on page 68 when Tree ear had a good idea he just grumbled an tried to hide his satisfied face.

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities by spying on him behind his rubbish heap, and at the kiln site when he was on his way to Min's house.
2. In my opinion Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because if he wanted everyone to see what he was doing Kang wouldn't have gone to the kiln site early in the morning before everyone.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery and fired them at the same time because one of them might have a dull color, or brown spots on it. In that case he would have to use the one that had the desired translucent green. The reason they all got fired at once was because the wood in the kiln would never burn the same way twice.
4. The reason Tree-ear knew why the Emissary admired Min's work was because on page 71 the person from the Emissary says "I knew this jug could be by no other than the same man who made that pot". Suddenly the expression on the mans face seemed pleased.
5. I agree with Crane-man because Kang would have told everyone about his new great invention if he wanted them to know but of course he kept quiet and snuck around so no one would see him which makes you relize that he has a secret he dosen't want to share.
6. In my opinion Min likes to keep things to himself, but when he does speak he wants to be tough and not show any weakness. For example, even when Tree-ear did something exactly the way he was instructed Min would still find a critical remark to tell him.

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities because he spied on him. On page 49 and 50 Tree-ear was spying on Kang and he looked in Kangs property to find what Kang was making but he found nothing. Though chapter five you can see that Tree-ear has been trying to find out what Kang has been doing the whole time.
2. Tree-ear shouldn't of spied on Kang because if he got caught he would be in a lot of trouble, and might of lost his job. I also think that he wanted to be part of the potter world so he tried to help Min because he wanted Min to be able to give his pots to the emissary and let them use it, and if Kang was using something that would make the emissary have his pots and Min might fire Tree-ear our Tree-ear won't be able to ever make a pot. So I think he did the right thing and the wrong thing.
3. Min made identical pieces of pottery and fired them because some of the pot's have brown spot's after they are fired, and some are just brown and others don't have the right color.
4. Tree-ear knew that the emissary liked Min because when they came over to his table the emissary said that they used a wine cup of his. On page 71 the emissary said that everybody likes to make the melon head shaped pot, but Min makes it very good and of course "it is made from the man that made the pot". Saying that Min can make his art better than the others even if they are all doing the same thing.
5.I think that Crane-man's advice is good because Tree-ear might get in trouble for telling Min about someone's else's idea, but when everyone knows about it, it is not a secret anymore. Like the I phone, first they didn’t tell anybody about the apps and how you touch the screen with your finger and that’s how it works. Now other phone's have apps and cool new ways to control. So when the secret came out it want a secret so people could take the idea because everybody all ready knows about it.
6.I think that Min's behavior is bad, but I think I know why. Min's son died ad he keeps his spirit low, because of it, and he has a kid working for him so it might of reminded him of the old days with his son. So it doesn't really like to talk to Tree-ear a lot but he has worked with Min so much that he knows when he is happy even when Min doesn’t say "that was a good idea", "come over here bro". I think that Min has a bad attitude, but he has a reason but he shouldn't scream at Tree-ear for doing nothing at all.

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery by spying on him and keeping his eyes peeled for Kang and anything suspicious about him.
2. I think Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because if Kang wanted anyone to know he would not have been so precautious. Plus it is not respectful to spy on someone and invade their privacy.
3. Min made several identical pieces and fired them all at the same time because the glaze had to be just the right color. Also, some of them might have had splotches of gray so in case some of them did come out like that he would have a good one also.
4. Tree-ear knew that the emissary admired Min's work because on page 71 it says "and suddenly the expression on his face seemed pleased.”
5. Yes, I agree with Crane-man that if an idea is being kept secret and is being taken by stealth or trickery, and then used it is the same as stealing. I think yes, because stealing is basically playing a trick on someone while you are taking something that does not rightfully belong to you. And that is kind of what he is trying to say.
6. I think Min's attitude is somewhat stern because he is always very serious and you can never tell when he is happy or sad. Almost like he has no emotions, and/or can't express them.
JP#20
Tree-ear solved the myseries of kang because one time late at night kang went to the kiln site and Tree-ear followed and tree ear saw kang working on a secret pot.
In my opinion I think that tree-ear should of spied on knang. The only reason is because kang everynight he would goto the kiln siteevery night and work on a secret pot with a little
Min made several clay pots at the same time becuase he knew that if the heat burned to hight the glaze would not be turned into a majestic green.
He admired min’ work because he spoke to min and said his melon shaped pot was unmistakable. And he also spent one of the most time at his stall.
I would agree with him there because tree-ear was being sneaky and stealthy and did not know what to do. It is kind of like the little angel devil situation should he of done it or should he have not.
6. Min does not compliment or praise Tree-ear when he does somehting well or has a good idea. Comment on Min's behavior and attitude.He does not give anygood in people because on the same day the emissary was coming from china in a visit to choose the best potter.
REF#6
1: Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang’s activities by spying on Kang while he was working.
2: Tree-ear should of not spied on Kang because Kang was minding his own business and if Kang wanted to show anyone he would have.
3: Min made several different pieces at once because many things affect the way the pieces turn out so this way at least one will turn out the right way with a translucent green.
4: Tree-ear knew that the Emissary admired Min’s work because Kim said shed seen tons of bowls in the same shape but not as perfact as Min’s work.
5: I agree with Crane-man because if someone keeps something to their self and doesn’t want to tell anyone and someone finds out and tell someone else that’s basically saying I made that up.
6: Min’s behavior and attitude I think is selfish because even when Tree-ea does something right Min always criticizes one thing and that makes him look smarter and better.
1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities by using stealth and spying on him through a knot hole on the shed Kang was working in.
2. Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because if Kang wanted someone to know what he was doing he would have told them. He was hiding something purposly and he did not want anyone to know.
3. Min takes several pieces of identical pottery and fires them at the same time because Min is a perfectionist and he wants everything picture-perfect which means color. Min wants a specific color and by puting large amounts of the pots in at a time gives him a better chance of at least having one picture-perfect pot.
4. Tree-ear knew the Emissary admired Min's work because the Emissary spent a lot of time at Min's stall. Even though the melon shaped pot that Min made had become common, his perfection was distinct enough for the Emissary to know that he had made the pot that he had used the night before.
5. Crane-man is right because when someone owns something (idea) and someone takes it before the person gives it, it is stealing. The definition for stealing is to take property of something wrongfully as taking an idea.
6. Min's behavior is wrong and unjust to not praise Tree-ear for his idea fit to suit an emissary. Min gets plenty of respect and will not lose but only gain for complimenting Tree-ear for his idea that Min did not think of.

1. Tree-ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities by searching for him on his way to and from work for Min. It paid off later when he spied on Kang who carried two bowls from his shed into his house. When the bowls spilled, Tree-ear looked at the spillage and noticed two different colors of clay water on the ground and then realized Kang might have been working on something new.
2. Tree-ear should not have spied on Kang because it is not nice to spy on someone but that was the only way to find out what Kang was doing.
3. Min made several identical pieces of pottery and fired them at the same time because it was the best way to make sure at least one of the pieces would fire to an unflawed celadon.
4. Tree-ear knew that the Emissary admired Min's work because the Emissary had a pleased look on his face when he looked at a jug piece Min made.
5. I agree with Crane-man who said that if an idea is being kept secret, and is taken by trickery and used, then it is the same thing as stealing since the idea is a secret. I think that if an idea is not a secret and is used by someone, then it is not stealing.
6. Min does not compliment or praise Tree-ear when he does something well or has a good idea. Min's behavior and attitude towards Tree-ear seem cold and uncaring and it seems like Min is really hard to please.

PP 22
1. Tree ear would spy every morning on Kang at the kiln sight to see what he was up to like when he carried some clay under a cloth.
2. No he shouldn't of spied because that was none of tree ear bususness and it was Kangs privacy instead of Tree ears privacy. So that it wouldn't be very proper.
3. He did that to see if which one was the greatest piece of pottery at the same time in the kiln. This is on page 63 for what happen on the page.
4. He knew because the emissary was not joking anymore the compitition is heating up from mins work of beautiful pottery.
5. I agree because you are just stealing the idea from somebody else. That is why that Kang is being stealthy like what crane man said.
6. The comment of Mins behavior is that he is a little happy for him but snaps right after and acts like what most people say to orphans in a mean tone. This is what the people say to ungreatful.
1 tree-ear solved the mystery of kang's activites by looking at kang through a little peep hole. After kang triped tre-ear saw that kang was using brick red and white slip (PAGE 50).
2 I don't thing tree-ear should of done that becaues since a royal embasitor was comeing to see the work he should of wated until it was meant to go out to the public.
3 Min did that becaues he was a perfectshenist which meant he took his time so one way he did that was by making many of the same shape moldes and pick for 1 or 2 to use.
4 He new that the Emissary admired Min's work becaues he said "Any potter can make a vase like that but the way you did it was amasing". That proves that the emissary liked hi work.
5 Yes, I do agree with crane-man becaues if someone new something that no one else knew he would show the public when he wanted to becaues it was his work.
6 Min is like that becaues since the Emissary is comeing he is more nurvis so he wants to be even more perscise that he was before.
Queston 1; He Figured out kanjis activities because sometimes as tree ear went home he saw kang rolling his cart slowly to the kiln site.
Question 2; No tree ear shouldn't have spied on Kang because on page 64 crane-man says "If a man is keeping a idea to himself and that idea is taken by stealth or trickery then it id stealing . But once the idea is revealed it belongs to the world. Also tree ear could've saw kanjis design at the time when the embenssary came.Question 3; He did this because if some went wrong he still had others. Question 4;He knew that the embassy admired mins work for two reasons one is that at one point he asks the government leader if this was the potter who's bowls i saw last night? and the embassy is very pleased with the mellon shape. Question 5; I agree with him becauseIf you steal something from them and then you use there idea they will accuse you. But if you wait until they have revealed it you can use it. For example when the MPe player was made apple coppied it with the ipod. Question 6. Mins behavior when tree ear does something right is happy for a moment then he goes back to a grouch his attitude is the same way he's happy then he's mean.
1. When Tree-ear noticed Kang going to the kiln with a covered cart, he suspects that Kang is up to something. One night walking home from work, he noticed light from a knothole in Kang’s windowless shed. When he looks in the knothole, he sees Kang at work at his new technique. Kang had dug in and then put in the different-colored clay. In this way Kang attempted to paint his pottery in designs.
2. Tree-ear was not right to look in on Kang, because if Kang wanted to keep it a secret Tree-ear should have respected that. Kang was much higher on the social ladder. Being an orphan, Tree-ear was hovering a little higher than he was before he started working for Min, but that was not high enough to be disrespecting Kang’s wishes. Also, Tree-ear should have not looked in on Kang out of pure courtesy.
3. Min was a perfectionist. He wanted everything to be perfect. So, instead of leaving the color or quality of his pottery’s glaze up to chance, he fired many copies of the same piece in hopes that at least one would come out perfect. This is because when potters fired pottery in the twelfth century, the glaze could come out with spots or turns gray. This is a result of the varying temperatures of firewood, not electricity.
4. Tree-ear knew the emissary admired Kang’s work because Kim said that even though the design was common, he could tell it was Min’s work, as he had eaten the night before with somebody who had owned a piece of pottery from Min. This shows that Kim admired Min’s work because if he did not admire it, he would not have remembered his own particular technique.
5. I agreed with Crane-man. I think that stealing physical or material things is using the same things; stealth and trickery. So taking something that is not physical, even if it is not a thing is the same as stealing, because the idea did not belong to Tree-ear. The only difference between material things and ideas is that once an idea is public, Tree-ear could tell Min. Then Min would still only be able to use technique or type of idea, but only in his own way.
6. I think Min is doing the wrong thing by taking out his worry on Tree-ear. He knows Tree-ear only wants to please him, so he just says whatever things he wants to say to him, and takes out any bad mood he has at any time out on Tree-ear. I also think that it is most likely because of his son’s death that he often acts like this.

CH 1. A comment on Min's behavior and additude is on page 66 where Min says ''watch that stone there, to the left! Keep the cart even stupid boy. Ai go! Whats the matter with you? Can't you keep it from bumping for even one second? You will ruin my work, pighead!'' This proves that min is very curt and is somewhat nasty with Tree-ear.CH

1.Tree ear solved the mystery of Kang's activities because he waited and saw Kang going some place with his pottery supplies and fallowed him and watched what he was doing. This is how Tree ear found out the mystery of Kang's secret.
2. I think he should of spied on Kang because Kang is going against Min's work and Kang might get his work to become famous.
3.Min put several identical pieces of pottery in the fire at the same time to get a nice glossy color and not a dark looking color.
4.Tree ear knew that emissary admired Min's work because he stayed there for a while looking at Min's work.
5. I think Crane man was right because if you share something that isn't yours and you don't say its his that is stealing. This is why I think Crane man is right.
6. When tree ear does something good Min doesn't show any respect or credit when he should be showing tree ear respect.
