Visualizing When My Name Was Keokeo Chapter 27,28

When I read Chapter 27, 28. I visualized the feeling that Tae-yul had when he was flying on an airplane. I can almost feel his feeling because the author used a lot of strong description words. I can feel how exciting it was when a volunteer will fly a mission as a kamikaze and sacrifice his life. I can also feel Sun-hee feelings when she read the last letter that Tae-yul wrote. She was so sad, and worried about her brother that is going to become a kamikaze, and will die.
