 While reading the Japanese genre study there were a few things that stood out to me. It was kind of hard try to understand where the author and illustration was at, so my group and I were having a hard time because there were so many Japanese languages on the book which made it very confusing. The style of the writing is what I definitely expected to be because I know we were taught in class how there are no spaces or not barely any periods and their periods look quite different from English. By the look of the book the images seem to be about a family of a mother, father, and two kids. Through the book the father started off having a rough day while going to work. And it showed two different emotions of how the children’s and mother day was going in the book. I think the book was also showing telling different sides of the story as well that’s what also made the book confused because we thought certain characters were the father and it wasn’t. I think it was a lot going on especially us trying to find the Japanese words that we know so that also took some time.
