Reflective Endnotes | Hachi's life story:I chose to write about hachikos life story to inform those who don't know about him and his life long journey. his story deserves to reach the ears and hearts of every person in the world. Letters to Hachi:letters to hachi was put into this project to show some examples on how the story impacted the many people who found out about his story. they wrote to him to show how thankful and how much gratitude and how much they idolize him as mans best friend. Videos:I put videos of his story, of his new movie, and some that could help his story make a little sense. Puzzles:I put a word search puzzle and a scramble to keep the readers engaged and interested into learning more about hachiko. Coming Soon:the movie poster was a creation of mine that could be a way of enabling the idea of hachikos way to his "American dream." hi reached it and chased it to the time of his death. it may not seem that he reached it but he is enjoying himself with professor ueno up in the clouds.
