Genre Investigation 2

 Reflection:

While both of these stories might be considered picture books- and that does help when dealing with more unfamiliar vocabulary- the two have very different content. My first book in this investigation is about a man named John and his trip to Japan and what he does with a friend he meets on the plane there. My second book, however, is simply listing out information about bananas and their history with Japan. The first feels more like an actual story, since it revolves around daily life, and the second was surprisingly a little more confusing since the information actually started to blend together a little. While initially I thought that staying on one topic might be easier to understand, it was a little strange to find out that since the author goes into much more detail when speaking about the bananas, I found it was easier to get the information mixed up on my first read through.
