  1. 1. They were hungry, tired and overworked.
    2. She thinks that everyone will forget how to enjoy and only do what they need to do to survive.
    3. "Pale pumice" and "volcanic ash"
    4. Sarah takes a negative view and thinks that they will not make it and appears to want to die in peace, at her home. Miles on the other hand takes an optimistic opinion and tries to get Sarah out of the city.

    When my name was Keoko:
    1)Their lives were becoming more restricted and many limitations were implemented. People were no longer allowed to practice their religious customs. Instead of lessons, they had war drills. With such a repetitive life, they would begin to forget the significance of the art and beauty of the world.
    2)The author was scared that if the war continued on for a long time people would not remember what it was like when there was no the war, and that no one would stop and appreciate beauty because they would be too busy trying to stay alive.
    Memory Boy:
    1)Pale pumice still lingered in the air after it raining down for the past 2 years. The rock flour in the air created a fantastic halo around the moon.
    2)Sarah made the decision to stay in their house because, she thinks that if everyone was going to die anyway, it would be dumb to try to move somewhere else and try to survive. Miles, on the other hand, persists in the idea that if they move out of the city, their chances of staying alive would be higher than if they just gave up and stayed exactly where they were.

    Model 1:
    1) The war has given the people a lot of hard work to do, insufficient food, constant exhaustion and no chance to enjoy life.
    2) He fear that if the war last too damn long, the citizens would forget how to have fun and also the joy of life/meaning of life.
    Model 2:
    1) volcanic ashes fell from the sky for two years. And the pale pumice hung in the air.
    2) Sarah's a negative person, thinking about the worst possible case scenario, which was that everyone dies. And Miles still has hope that they would come out unharmed.
