In the short story the main setting is in Tokyo but there are up to four different settings for each event that takes place. The story starts of in Mr.Katagiri's apartment where frog and Mr. Katagiri are first introduced to each other.

I think this is a perfect example of character vs nature conflict. This quote tells us the characters objectives, their problem, their goal and what they have to do to achieve this goal. The whole story revolves around this

Every story has a setting. Whether it is in this world or one that is completely imaginary, the setting of any story is necessary in order to understand the characters.

From ever since I can remember, animals have never been able to hold a discussion with humans, but in the native american myths, animals were worthy of admiration and were given the ability to talk. Before the Europeans ever came to America, Native Americans did not use a written language, but instead spread their ideas and stories through verbal language. The stories they created were passed on from generation to generation through this oral communication. Further, they helped in the development of many motifs which can be seen in our twenty-first century society. The themes portrayed in the stories they told relate to how we live today in more ways than you may think. The themes that derive from Native American myths (the importance of competition,
