From this point on, the reader learns about the background of the whole story and understands the anxieties of the boy who feels the sense of loss. In one of the significant scenes where Jack decides to express his opinion about the poems read, he says the following: “especially I like the dog” (Creech, 16). It seems to be an attempt to convey the idea that deep worries may be experienced by everyone, including children. The plot describes the boy who tragically lost his dog and who refuses to show a desire to fulfill his teacher’s tasks. Based on the plot of the play, it is evident that Creech uses a simple style, which, at the same time, encourages reflection on the story’s essence. “Love That Dog” written by Sharon Creech is a work illustrating the touching story of little schoolboy Jack. Literary plays allow readers to immerse themselves in situations describing characters and their actions in detail.

Historical accuracy has never been huge for me, though. It was not seen as such a solid concept as it is today.Īgain, this could arguably be the intention of the director, handling a modern issue on a different platform. It's also important to note that sexuality was much less. In reality, shudo was considered a higher form of bonding and there was extremely little concern over who participated in such acts and who didn't. For example, there is a lot of concern in the movie over who "swings that way" and who doesn't. I won't give an entire Japanese history lesson here, but homosexuality was not fraught over as it is in the movie. In a way, it's modern-minded characters in a historical setting. In terms of historical accuracy, Gohatto is right on the money for everything except the subject it's primarily dealing with.

I really liked Rebel of the Sands but it was definitely Traitor to the Throne that fully had me invested in this story and its characters. My complete and utter love for this trilogy has seemingly come out of nowhere. One thing they know for sure is that they need to save their friends, but with time clearly not on their side who will be left alive if and when they finally reach them. Their leader and general captured along with the majority of the rest, the few still free, now led by Amani, struggle to come up with a solid plan to retaliate against the Sultan. Hero at the Fall begins maybe a few days or so from where we ended in Traitor to the Throne, with a very beaten down and broken rebellion.
