await his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachi touches the lives of
many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the people
about love, compassion, and loyalty that can be intertwined not only between

4. The real Hachiko was born
in Odat Japan in 1923. When his master, Dr. Eisaburo Ueno a professor at Tokyo
University died in May, 1925, Hachi returned to the Shibuya train station the
next day and for the next nine years to wait. Hachiko died in March 1935.
Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot
outside the Shibuya railroad station. From
information that I can found in the movie so I can say that the source
of the story are in the 2 places firstly in the railroad station, when first
time Prof. Wilson (Parker) found Hachiko and in this place everyday Hachiko is
always wait his master although his master was died. Secondly, in the Prof.
Wilson (Parker) house. In this place there are some conflicts among Parker,
Kate, and Hachiko that make the story more interesting.
5. Rising Action: when Kate (Prof. Wilson’s
wife) is angry when knows that her husband brought a puppy enter into their
house.
Climax: Kate
(Prof. Wilson’s wife) asks her husband for bringing the puppy to the dog pound.
Because Kate doesn’t want to keep a dog in their house with some reason only
her knows about the reason why she hates that puppy?
Falling
Action: when Kate see her husband and her daughter love Hachiko
very much so finally Parker’s family decide for keeping Hachiko in their house
as their pet.
Catastrophe/Resolution:
Hachiko is always accompanies his master (Parker) when parker goes to
the office. Hachiko is always waits his master in front of the train station
when his master back from his office. Until Parker was died Hachiko still
waiting his master in that place until he died in March 1935.
6. In my
opinion related
to the outstanding feature of the play is the music in “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story”
support and is really fit the drama. The music, which is quite melancholic,
gives emotional effect to the story and also the viewers who watch this drama.
We can hear the music in some important scene, such as when Hachi is still
waiting his master in Bedridge station although his master has passed away.
