(Aeschylus 461) It is believed that when man triumphs in a battle‚ they rise to believe they are god-like and become too successful and prideful. As a result‚ a prideful man can easily start defying the gods and in turn be punished by the gods for their treachery.

Japanese-Canadians following post World War II suffered through the continued effects of the interment camps and were victims of racism.

Form is used to exemplify important parts of the story by bringing the focus into them. The author uses the bolded words “Mukashi‚ mukashi‚ omukashi” (Goto 18) before everyone of Obachans (Naoe)
