Totto-Chan
The story taakes place just before World War 2 in Japan. A little girl named Totto-Chan got expelled from her previous school because she made a din in class. Therefore, she got accepted into a new school called Tomoe Gakuen. The school was not like any other school. This school was unique. They have train carriages as classrooms and library. The headmaster, also known as Mr Kobayashi is unlike other teachers, he teaches things that are not taught in other schools. Their timetable is also unique, they can study whatever that want but, have to finish their quota. They also go for numerous exciting excursions. Everything was fine andd Totto-chan enjoyed her new school until one day, the school got bombed during the war. Though Mr Kobayashi wanted to rebuild Tomoe, it was never achieved.
Well mostly the part that intrigued me is when the headmaster let everyone swim naked together in the school's pool. The reason why he did it also made sense. He said that everyone is equal and must not be ashamed of their bodies. The part that dissapointed me was when Rocky (Totto-chan's dog) almost bit of Totto-chan's ear. It was not really dissapointment but more of "grossed-out". Who knew the dog which Totto-chan loved so much would bit her ear.
I have learn to look forward to school everyday as there are new things to learn and exciting things to do. This can be applied in the future as well. Actually it can be applied to my entire life. Look forward for tomorrow, you will never know what new things it may bring.
Yes, I wholeheartedly reccomend this to my friends. It is interesting to read and there are lessons learnt.
