Juvenile literature
Juvenile literature can enjoy not only the children but also the adults.
W
e can find children’s
books in familiar places.
For example, we can borrow
them from the library, see
them in the waiting room of
a hospital, and so on. So we
have many opportunities to
come in contact with children
books, and they are easy
for us to get our hands on.
Not only children but also
adults can enjoy these works.
There are various kinds, as
well, such as picture books,
biographies, and poetry. The
reader can notice profound
themes by reading children’s
books again when he or she
has become an adult.
Juvenile literature
has developed by forming
child readers through
the development of print
technology and the spread of
education. Moreover, it has
developed since “children” were
recognized as one personality
type in humans. In particular,
Andersen’s fairy tales have
been translated and loved in
(Photo by H.Hatakeyama)
all countries around the world.
“The Naked King” is one work
that has become an idiomatic
expression in Japanese. In
addition, children’s books are
frequently made into animated
cartoons or made into movies
with the development of
media. That juvenile literature
attaches greater importance
on education rather than
entertainment is demonstrated
by parents who read to their
children.
In a broad sense
picture books are also one
genre of juvenile literature.
Picture books are not only
to be enjoyed by one person
alone. They are media that can
be enjoyed because someone
reads to someone else. In short,
the reader can enjoy listening
to the words with their ears
while looking at the pictures.
Moreover, the readers and the
listeners can enjoy this activity
together. On occasions such as
this, picture books have some
unique features. The reader
can make changes in the speed
of turning the pages and can
change the rhythm of the story
as he or she tells it. Yasuko

Doi of the International
Juvenile Literature Hall at
the Osaka Prefectural Central
Library has this message for
children, “I hope you will be
able to find a book that you
will think dearly of when you
are an adult and want to read
throughout your lifetime.”
Much juvenile
literature includes
philosophical thought.
Moreover, picture books aren’t
lacking in artistic value.
Readers can enjoy these books
with the eyes of an adult.
Moreover, they can learn about
the sensitivity of children by
enjoying these books with
children. Furthermore, they
can find their inner child
once again by reading these
books. The ways of enjoying
children’s literature has the
possibility to increase. From
now on juvenile literature
works will include various
new effects and illustrations.
Juvenile literature will be
loved by children and will
remain in people’s minds as a
fond memory.

Dieting
ummer has come, and more and more people are lightly dressed. Many people will go on a diet in preparation for summer vacation. However, losing
weight is not always a good thing.
Nowadays, many young people try to get thinner than the appropriate weight. In Japan, many people get much thinner and are diagnosed as being in
a starvation state. Some people say that Japanese women think about dieting too much. Immoderate dieting is bad for our health. Unbalanced eating habits
by misguided dieting increase the risk of malnutrition which can lead to conditions such as a lack of iron. The symptoms of a lack of iron are fatigue and
growth disorders. Moreover, if our desire to decrease our weight becomes too strong, we develop the obsession that we must reduce our weight, and there is a
chance of developing an eating disorder.
Why do Japanese women want to more lose weight than is normal? The first reason is the existence of fashion models. They admire girls on TV and
in magazines, and want to have the same proportions as those girls. Therefore, they diet too much. The second reason is that TV and the Internet broadcast
much information about dieting, and so and dieting becomes a part of their lives. Therefore, they go on a diet even though they are not fat.
Normally, dieting is meant for overweight people to achieve a healthy body type. Overweight people need to exercise in moderation, have nutritionally
well-balanced meals, and moderate their intake of fat and sugar. Dieting should never include things like eating unbalanced meals or taking medicine. BMI
is one thing that is used to measure whether you are overweight or not. First, we should confirm whether our weight is normal or not by using BMI. Next, we
should reflect on our meals and lifestyle and take care not to stray far from the ideal body weight.
