Description

It has been said that "A Lemon" is a difficult work for teaching in class, because there are some students who never have the same sensibility as author's and they cannot understand the story. But this view depends upon the author's sensibility too much. We should analyze the structure and words of the story in detail. The fist words "a mysterious and ominous soul" have an important meaning, and the whole structure of the story is related to the relevancy between those words and a daydream of a bomb in Maruzen. This point of view is significant for both comprehention of the story and teaching in class.
