A new event in Chapter 16, “Whale Song, Whale Rider” can be added where Koro writes a letter to Kahu after Maori people, included Koro praise for her brave action.
I hope to show that Koro expresses his true love and apology to Kahu and their relationship is rebuilt with their full of true loves. Even though he showed bad attitudes to her, he truly loved her inside his mind.

    Okabe Itsuko

    William H. Sewell defines a historical agent as one who is “capable of exerting some degree of control over the social relations in which one is enmeshed, which in turn implies the ability to transform those social relations to some degree” (Loftus 3). In other words, if one wants to become a historical agent, then one must recognize and take control of his/her social situation before being able to transform his/her situation. In doing so, one can achieve subjectivity, or autonomy. Filmmaker Kurosawa Akira, through his portrayal of protagonist Yagihara Yukie in the film No Regrets for Our Youth, exemplifies Sewell’s definition of historical agency, as Yukie learns to exert control over her life and begins to transform her own world.…
