About the article of the Japan Times

In the article, Vegans have a long way to go yet, the writer mentioned about the vegetarian food and vegans in Japan. Recently, they are increasing but still few so they are sometimes misunderstood in Japan.

The writer has lived in Japan for almost 10 years and he has taught students all over Japan, and he wrote the students' reaction that they did when they met the people who are vegetarianism. He also used generalizations to make his article credible. He talked how in fashion the vegetarianism is now which is rare and misunderstood. It is not known so well to everyone so the writer is telling us about it by describing the students' air. He wrote the names of countries and he is telling that the vegetarianism has boom in those countries, it means that he is giving us the example of other countries. He is a vegetarian so he hopes that the vegetarianism will be booming in Japan. These are his authorities and he is trying to persuade the readers. In the last paragraph, you can see there are only a few vegetarian restaurants and vegans, so by writing the sentence, he is showing the fewness of them.
