English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

After Reading, "The President's Murderer"
I read "The President's Murderer" in October, and here is my answer to "After Reading #2".
Dear Mrs Dinon,
You don't know me, but I met your husband soon after he escaped from prison. I found him in my field, took him to my house, and gave him some good hot food. Today the newspapers say that the soldiers killed him. I am so sorry, Mrs Dinon. Your husband wasn't a murderer, or an enemy of the country. Everybody knows that, and we don't listen to the government. Your hasband wanted to change things and give us all a better life. He was a good man.
From a friend.

Tomoko,
ReplyDeleteDid you think this story was realistic? Are there ny countries where this kind of story could happen? If you made a film from the book, who would you cast in it?
