What is the meaning of the title?
During the end of August Kiyoshi father decided to quit fishing and move the family back to Kahana. Their family was much larger and needed help. Part of traditions is that the first born son was expected to help take care of the family. Tosh was the oldest and first born. He was forced to quit high school and work in the cane fields to help support his family. This also meant he had to help pay off his father's debt.
When Tosh said, "All I asking for is body" he meant that he wanted to be able to make his own decisions. He wanted to decide what his path was in life and which path to take. Tosh was angry because he actually liked going to school. He wanted to make something of himself and not live the life of someone else. He hated the fact that his grandfather's debt was a burden, only because it was he who was to help pay it off. He believe that this was throwing his life away. Where his time and effort could help make a better life for him and his family.

all i asking for is my body, part II dialogue
Why do Kiyoshi’s parents have so many children?
I believe one of the reasons that Kiyoshi’s parents have so many children is because they just like having someone around. The fact that there are so many kids, no one will ever be alone. For example, when Kiyoshi’s father is out at sea, his mother will always have someone to talk to so she will not get lonely.
I think the main reason Kiyoshi’s parents had so many children because as they get older their children will be able to take care of them. For example, when Kiyoshi's mother got sick she had help from her children while her husband was out at sea. Eventually, all the children will be adults with jobs that will help support their parents. Not only will they be support their parents but they will be able to help each other when in need.
Kiyoshi’s family reminds me of my husbands family. His parents had eight kids. Can u imagine living in that house? His sisters told me when they where younger they would have to do chores around the house such as dishes, every one's laundry, and sometimes cook. Some of the boys during the summer would work with their dad landscaping. They all helped each other out. And now my husband is trying his best to help his parents. He was able to get some of his brothers and sisters help buy his parents a car.
