WEEK 8

The Interview is the third short story. It is all about a friendship between people who different culture that can become a friend although in the war situation. It begin when Mason become a defense and Hiro become the interrogator. Although Hiro is Japanese, he can speak English and thus it make their relationship become more tight. Mason and Hiro surely come from different background and both of them had to perform duties towards their own country. But, they really appreciate their friendship after willing to sacrifice their life more than anything. Everyone has their own selfishness but he kills that kind of feeling. For me, it is a big sacrifice for Hiro to his beloved friend to betrayed Japanese army by letting Mason free from the execution. After that, Hiro was punished as the same punishment that is going to get. The sacrifice that he did, only put him to end of his life. By keeping Mason's secret, he was executed at the end. Anyway, their friendship is everything. Hiro already knew about the effect. However, he doesn't afraid of it. This story will teach the reader commonly and myself aspecially of the true meaning of friendship beyond barrier.
