Omoni is Sun-Hee's mother in <em>When My Name was Keoko</em>, by Linda Sue Park.
The plot takes place during World War II, when Japan occupied Korea. Sun-Hee and her brother had to witness the oppression and forced culture changes that were happening around them.
One of these changes was learning Japanese, which Omoni didn't understand well. Therefore, she couldn't fully comprehend what was being said in the broadcasts and sometimes didn't know what was going on.
For this reason, and because it was "men's business" she would not answer most of her daughter's questions. Being the youngest and also a girl, she wasn't allowed to talk much or even listen to important matters.
Eventually, Sun-Hee learned that it was useless to ask Omoni most questions.

Answer:
The theme is that family should stay together therefore being stronger that way. The five sons did not want to stay together though due to their wives’ wishes. The father compared their relationship to a log. The Oilman said, “We are like the whole log: we have plenty of property and are strong and can overcome attack; but if we separate we shall be like the split sticks and easily broken.” The sons still separated from their father.
The theme emerges as they all fell into poverty. Once they were all divided it was easy for the “log” to fall apart. The Oilman then compares the family to four wells “The four wells mean that a man had three sons, and while they were little he filled their stomachs as the wells were filled with water; but when they separated they would not fill the old man’s stomach.” The theme stayed the same over the course of the passage. They were all stronger together.
