THE GIFT OF RAIN SUMMARY.pptx
Here are the key points Yin makes about restorative and retributive justice in The Gift of Rain:
- Restorative justice focuses on rehabilitation and reconciliation between victims and offenders, while retributive justice emphasizes punishment of offenders.
- In the novel, after Endo aids the Japanese conquest that leads to Philip's family's deaths, he is sentenced to life in prison for war crimes. However, Philip visits him and grants him an honorable death by sword, showing mercy rather than further punishment.
- This can be seen as an example of restorative justice, as Philip reconciles with his former friend rather than seeking further retribution. It allows Endo to find closure and die with dignity, moving beyond punishment
