Summary
Hachiko Waits is a fictional writing which is based on a true story. Hachiko Waits depicts the story of a dog that is loyal to its owner until it breathe its last. The story start with the introduction of Professor Eizaburo Ueno owner of Hachiko playing with Hachiko in the morning. Professor Eizaburo then left for work and Hachiko manage to get out and followed the professor. Then this is the introduction part of the public to Hachiko and reader. It is then time for the professor to hop on the train to get to his destination and he informed Hachiko that he will be back by three. And basically, that is how it started, on daily basis, Hachiko would walk professor to the train station and when it is three o’clock, Hachiko will be there waiting for its owner. And so it happened that one day the professor gotten sick and passed away at the university where he was lecturing. Poor Hachiko did not know and still waiting for its owner to come back. So every day after the passing of the professor, Hachiko waited at the station patiently for the appearance of its owner. It is a beautiful story of loyalty. I love the progression of the story and it is an enjoyable read. Simple and everything is pretty straight forward that it manage to stir the emotion of readers. I personally cried reading the story and I love how book that is able to stir the emotion.
