Adjectives Add Color to the Picture
Today we practiced using descriptive adjectives to make our descriptions more lively, adding “color” to the picture we paint with words.

Lonely Sensei’s Only Friend
We had an interesting discussion today about the role of the “Westerner” who appears with Sensei in Kokoro, and about the introduction of Western individualism to Japan in the Meiji period, along with how individualism is symbolically connected to the characters’ loneliness.

I continue to be impressed by your excellent vocabulary–you had no problem today with such idiomatic word as blurted, eccentric, and so on.
