Eimi Yamada's "Eyes of Baby Chick" is included in many high school textbooks. According to an instructor who teaches the story many high school students read it as a love story. However, the work seems by no means a mere a love story when we note the function of the first-person narration. That they read it as a love story shows that high school students do not read deeply. This fact goes to the very heart of the problem when we direct our attention to the new "criticism" in high school courses of study. This paper studies the reading of "Eyes of Baby Chick" from the "criticism" point of view and obtains the following results: "Eyes of Baby Chick" clearly contains a duality of critical function both in the substance of its first-person narration and in ways of describing its first-person narration. If we attach importance to reading the duality in the critical function of the first-person narration, this work reads deeply, not superficially. This paper demonstrates that this work can instruct in the ability to read critically.
