象のトンキーis a very sad story. It is about the encounter of an elephant’s from India in Japan during the World War II. The elephant brought the local children a lot of happiness, but in the end, it had to be killed because of the war. It is interesting to me how the writer uses descriptions of the weather or scene to imply the protagonists’ emotions. And the news of the end of the war in the last sentence leaves the reader a profound emotion, both to トンキー, and to the peace.
Love and Peace to the world.
