The Last Festival [Rucksack Wanderer]

From reading this story, I got out some Japanese language and customs. I read about some of the moments Tim remembered from living in this small Japan city. I also read that women in Japan take their husbands' checks because the men would spend all the money one night at the bars. There were no true lessons in this story, but I did get a clear picture of some Japanese activities.

Some events that Tim has described in the story is how he and Mr. Tanaka were talking about a picture they found from World War II. Tim was asking Mr. Tanaka questions but he really didn't have the answer. Tim used some imagery in the story when he says "vaguely robotic looking owl". During that moment, I could really see that owl flying in the sky. In addition, the point of view in the full story was calm and informative.
