Status Updates From Obasan

Till now I was just wondering what if I don’t know the meaning and couldn’t catch what it says?

Years ago, Obasan was the assigned text for my middle school English class. Now, I don't think most middle school students today could handle the concepts, message or the vocabulary laid out in this book.

And there's a bit of a tragedy there, that this book, meant for young people and with an important message, is now too hard for it to even be assigned.
