 * CLIMAX:** Mrs. Wang climbed to the top of the dam. She noticed the village was in ruins and the villagers had all run away. Her grandson, Little Pig, and his wife had gone with them. She looked to the east and saw the Japanese army heading her way. She climbed down the dike and decided to open the water gate. She would fight the Japanese with water to protect her grandson and land. She pulled the two pins and the gate was open, releasing the water and sweeping her with it, toward the enemy.


 * PLOT: Mrs.Wang was told that a war was going on but she didnt believe it. She didnt believe it because she wasn't told that any of her family was killed, so she didnt believe what the people were** **telling her. But she knew if the River flooded she knew what kind of damage would do to the Village that she lived in in Japan. So she convinced all the villagers to follow her out of the village so that** **they would be safe and be protected.
