The form changes in characteristic ways depending on physical quantities such as amount and temperature, but the chemical nature of the constituents remains unchanged. Or dissolving solid sugar or salt in water. Examples: A mixture of different size gravel subjected to vibrations of one or more frequencies, simultaneously or in series, at identical or different or changing intensities, will produce characteristically different sorting of that gravel according to size and/or shape.

In a physical change, all the original components are still uniquely themselves and still present but in, perhaps, very different arrangements. In a chemical change, the reactants undergo a fundamental transformation that results in a product that is chemically distinct from any of the reactants and may still contain some of the original reactants, depending on which was the limiting reagent and the other conditions controlling the chemical reaction. The result seems to have been more in the nature of a chimera, like a physical change, rather than a transformation, like a chemical change. And then there was WW2, where they hurt the ones they loved, who first had to kick the shit out of them and then help them rebuild.

I know that as far back as the Meiji Restoration, Japan seemed far more interested in taking the US as a model, perhaps both politically and economically, than any European nation.

Second, the performer was excellent in his characterization of the different people in the story. By that, since I don’t speak or read Japanese, I mean only that the English prose resulting from his translation was excellent, unaffected, and had a mood and identity consistent with the first person narrator and main character of the story.
