Jojo's story

The fighting is getting nearer. We hear the guns every day now. (p. 43)


「jojo's story」の画像検索結果     Every one in Jojo's village is dead. He can see many familiar dead body around him... He comes across a solder who is a writer and journalist. As he talks with the man longer and longer, they have stronger connection. Jojo decides to see him again even if he is sent to a children's facility.
     I found out two strange things. First, the scene which shows Jojo's fear is less than conversation between Jojo and a soldier. I guess a situation in a civil war is familiar for him and he has been sure that his family is killed someday. Second, Jojo decides to fight holding a gun. This is terrible for me, but his loyalty for his village or family is so brave. Therefore, this scene emphasizes the change from a child to an adult.
   

      This is Cambridge English Readers series. This shocking story and pictures give us how comfortable Japan is. The common thing depends on a country, but if you compare this story with Japan, you can reach a new idea.

  1. I couldn't enjoy reading this book because it was a sad story. However, we can know about the war with this book.
