This is a short story which contains many ideas and topics related to people in the same place but, in a different mental space. I mean, the idea of observing, as the narrator did, an the idea of being observed, are both components of our society, in which we are observer and observed.
As the narrator explains, the japanese gentlemen are a particular group with particular attitudes in a physical space. But, at the same time , they are a common group, as components of the same restaurant. On the other hand, the couple have the opposite side of the story, in terms of ideas and goals, but they are components of the whole, too. In other words, in isolation we are different, but when we are inmmerse, we represent the same, despite of our ideas and interests. We are part of the mass. Therefore, if you do not observe each particular case, you should not appreciate the significant differences between people. Observing you can analyse any particular case at school, any particular difference, to solve it, to correct it, as an omniscient narrator in your own book.

I agree with your point of view because it is very important to observe the different things that are around us. For example, when you look something or someone in detail you can discover a lot of things such us sadness, happiness, imperfections etc. In addition, the power of the observation make us less superficial because we can understand that we are not alone in this planet.For that reason, it is essential to develop our capacity of observation because we could become kindness, humble and nice with the rest of human beings.
and how do you feel about the book ''Border crossin'', what do you think about the narrator's point of view?
