Reading Diary 4

13.It is unusual to wish that our lives of characters in stories.How would you change your own life to be more like the world of your story?

   Well my life is good as it is but to me its boring.So what I mean is that my life doesn't have much actions and more real life situations.So like Jiro and everyone else they have action so the kind of action they have is finding the identity of a criminal called Saburo. Also what other thing that could be changed in my life is the fact that instead over here in Hawaii my life could change if I lived in Japan, I could do many different things if I did.I could eat different foods like sushi.Instead of watching a movie I could watch puppets and learn some stories about them.So living in Japan could totally change my expeirence in Hawaii and life will be different because of the traditions in Japan than Hawaii also to make my life better I could do more things like meeting new people and solving a crime like Jiro and the others.

14.Why do you think the author wrote this story ?Where did the author get the idea or the characters?What message do you think that the author is trying to share?

    The author could have created this for a number of reasons but the reason I think was that recently he went to a trip to Japan and she saw many thing and traditions that happened there like puppets.After when she went back she thought about a story called The Master Puppeteer. Another reason could be that he wanted this story to be like a story about someones past like her's .

      Well maybe the characters could have came from people in her own life.So maybe Kinshi would be like a teacher because he is Jiro's master.So Jiro could be the author because he learns from Yoshida.As for the others could be like supporting characters to help the story move along or make this story more exciting.

       The message I think the author is trying to share is Japanese culture.What makes me think this is the parts about like a puppet show.Also it could be also telling us how people are in Japan.For example Saburo the bandit this character could represent criminals in Japan.Also the author could be writing a book to show how different it could be from Japan and here.

2.Does the story or its characters remind you of another story you have read?Does it remind you of a movie?How are they alike?How are they different?


To me I think I have heard of a book like this before its called Diary of A Wimpy Kid The last Straw.In this book a boy named Greg Heffley believes his dad is gonna ship him off to military school because his dad thinks he is well wimpy.So his dad tells him to buff up.So this is lie the story because Jiro does many things to impress others so what he did was he made a puppet and he showed it to others.Like Greg he impresses his father.

So what makes them really different is that they come from different places.Another thing that makes them different is that they do different things to impress each other,such as Greg trying to be buff and Jiro making puppets.Another thing thats different is that Greg is impressing his dad and Jiro is impressing Kinshi.

5.If you were to put this story into your own life in the area where you live around the people and friends that you know how would the story change ?How would the people the people change ?Would the setting change?Why would these changes have changes have to take place?

Answer:Well if the story changed because of the place being taken here it would be better in my perspective.If the story was my friends and family It would be different like having a good community with alot more friendly people and we wouldn't strive for money.Also instead of puppets we would do something else because most people are not Japanese so people wouldn't sell puppets for a living.Well most of these changes will mostly occur because of the people over here compared to Japan.
