Hi, ladies!!
We really enjoyed today’s essay reading meeting at Cosmos’s house from 10 AM to 4 PM. The number of participants was 11 members, including 3 new comers who are friends of Alice and Sunflower. Thanks to a complete guide by Alice with a concise resume, we could have a lively discussion on Miyake-san’s essay. We were all strongly impressed by her effective way of writing, using a wide vocabulary, a clever phrase, and a meticulous sentence composition. I think her writing style is almost a native one, and it’s almost impossible for me to follow her…! Anyway, today’s argument greatly contributed to my English writing. Thank you very much, Alice, Cosmos. Most of all, I appreciate your fantastic suggestion, Plum.
So, see you tomorrow, good night, energetic friends…

I had a great time at “the reading meeting” today. Thank you for opening your place, Cosmos, and thank you for preparing the concise summery for us, Alice. Under Alice’s guidance, we were able to discuss various topics as well as Miyake’s writing style and content of her essay. To be honest, it is still very difficult for me to understand this English essay. Listening to everyone’s opinion and the way of approaching to Miyake’s essay, I recognized that all of you were full to the brim with knowledge. I learned a lot and I enjoyed very much. Thank you for giving me this valuable opportunity. Thank you to everybody.
Good night and see you again.
Hello, Cherry and my friends.
Thank you for everything for Cosmos and Alice who were generous enough to give us nice circumstances to read the essay of Miyake Yoshiko smoothly. Especially I’d like to thank Alice for preparing for a three-page clear-cut resume and taking the initiative for us to the right direction of our reading.
It’s exciting and instructive to discuss freely on women’s roles, reproductive and productive roles, which include the occasionally competing demands of capitalism and the state.
Why did the Japanese government resist mobilizing women for war work despite the acute labor shortage?
The answer would be that the state looked on women’s increasing entry into the work force as a potential threat to the institution of the Japanese stem family.
Industry demanded women’s cheap labor but the state failed to utilize women’s productive roles because women's work force would become a potential threat to the family system, which formed the basis for the ideology of Japanese nationalism, known as family-state ideology.
Alice, I’m sorry I have to leave a little bit earlier than some other members because of my next schedule. To be frank with you, my son called me if he could have my spaghetti and meat sauce that night with his pregnant Yuko-chan, who planed to bring us some Baumkuchen of Club Harie she got in Nagoya that morning. There is no reason to decline his nice request; We enjoyed dinner with them.
Good-night,Cherry and my sweet friends.
