c. Comments about the essay.
This essay was interesting.
Especially, she wrote that, That day, I went from a child's perspective of "stranger = danger" to a new idea: "stranger = changer."
Stranger and someone who has different culture changes my idea.
Knowing something new is so interesting.
So human beings are leaning and studying.
But I didn't think I could give stranger my memento or my valuables.
So I will not do rash action when I'll be with stranger.
