The_Story_Of_Honor

The Story Of Honor The Story of Honor After reading The Samurai’s Garden I realized how different cultures are aside from America. We live very differently here compared to a country like Japan or Hong Kong. Here we live in a world where money is the most important thing to everyone, where as honor and how you carry the family name are important to the characters in the book. Honor is a way of life to Kenzo, Sachi, and Matsu but there are a lot of differences between the three of them. Becoming ill or even death can be a very hard thing not just for the person sick or dead, but also for the family. Serious illness has an effect well beyond just the appearance. It is a great burden to the family and people around them. It takes a toll on everyone involved; it is like when the person sick is not doing so well, that everyone else around them is feeling the same. So for the culture that Sachi, Kenzo, and Matsu live in, it easier to move on and let people forget. But even though they live in the same culture they do three totally different things.
