Tottochan, the star


Pournami. P.V
The book that influenced me most in these hot summer days was Tottochan, a famous story written by Thethusco Kuroyangi who was a famous TV programmer. The story was so famous among the people in Japan and it helped to change the minds of many children in jails.
The story begins with the admission of a student in a school. Beyond a story, it is an autobiography of the girl hero Tottochan. This story depends on the life of a girl when she was studying in lower classes. The specialty of the story is that the writer describe her experiences with all its purity.
Here in the story she says about her famous school days. Tottochan was a naughty girl in that time and she liked to do all mischievous activities beyond her age. She always disturbed the other students by opening a box in which she kept her pencils and other tools. In addition, she compelled the street singers to sing for long time and they felt very revenge towards her. Like this, she made some bad impression on teachers and at last, they were compelled to shift her school. However, her mother was not ready to do this and she tried her best to make her behavior a good one. But at last without recourse she changed her school to Tomo where the headmaster was Sosacu kobayashi. In that school, there was no necessary benches and desks. But there were some small seats like that of in trains and in that school the children had the right to select and study the subject which they liked and the students were given much priority. They were given the freedom to do some extracurricular activities. As a result, the school became a dreamful one among the children. But unfortunately the school was demolished during the second world war.
When we go through this story, we can conclude that it has some peculiarities in shaping the life of a man. Oh God! What a story. I am longing to read it once more; an ever-memorable month had withered away giving some good experience.
