The essence of language lies in response. When I say something to you, what I say would be subtly affected by your response. Such an interaction between narrator and narratee, which can be called "adogatari" in Japanese, is very important in literary education. So it seems pointless to be engaged in reading a text per se, however exhaustive it be; what is important is to read the text in relation to the reader. Amid such interaction, literary works must start to talk back to you directly. Literary education is just the attempt to create this situation in the classroom. An infant with incipient linguistic competence tries to express everything in the limited vocabulary it has acquired. This bricolage of words in infancy is in principle equivalent to the act of writing in general. The power of language to express anything adhoc can also be found in students' papers. Finally, young people now tend to avoid thinking about serious matters such as relations between the self and others or historical speculation on growth and death. I suggest that literary education direct them to face these questions.

Shotaro Yasuoka's Tama-no-Yukue humorously traces the inner development of a ten-years-old boy of Hirosaki City during the early Showa Era. But its excellence lies in the descriptive power of ironically presenting the double structure of insolence and perversity latent in the seemingly peaceful world of Imrerial Japan, which the boy gradually discovers. As a textbook, this work will give students a good opportunity to think about the self, otherness in their own community, and perverse social values.

How can we develop students' linguistic and cognitive competence effectively? With this question in mind, I will suggest what literary education should be now. First, to find material suitable for what students are most interested in. Second, to accustom them to reading literary texts and inculcate them with sensitivity to literary language. Finally, to have them compare each one's reading and then make a joint interpretation. In the last stage, the teacher must provide the opportunity for students to discuss openly, by which their expressive ability will be more improved.

In this essay, primarily I will show how we are often tempted to turn every object into a set of narrative patterns and read things in a standardized fashion. Secondly, I will examine the process of interpreting and find where the narrative moment begins. Thirdly, from a hermeneutical viewpoint, I will classify literary interpretation into three patterns and follow each narrative formation. Finally, I would like to suggest the way to avoid such standardized reading in a literature class.

The fact that Atsushi Nakajima was influenced by English literature is little known. The reason is that few of his acquaintances survived World War II and that his literary career was very short. I researched the lectures Nakajima attended in his Tokyo University days, and I found out that he had come across Aldous Huxley's Point Counter point in the third year. I also researched his attempt at translation of some English works. I could ascertain that Torajiro Sawamura, then assistant professor of English, had some influence on Nakajima in his reception of English literature.
