THE BOY NAMED CROW
by: Haruki Murakami
This story is all about a boy named Kafka Tamura who planned
to run away and escape the unlovely situation.
Before he run away, he should be the toughest fifteen-year-old boy, in order
to survive consequences for his escaping plan. He took all the money he had which
can help him to make it through. But if his money dropped he will have a hard
time to think or find what is the possible solution because his still young. Kafka
knew that he just like facing a storm if he run away and that can made him
think that running away will never be a solution of a problem. Problem should
be solved but not be escaped. After all, Kafka walk away and see himself living
the library.
I think the purpose of this story is to entertain and inform
readers so that they’ll think wisely if ever they came up with the same
situation that Kafka faced. And also for them to choose the best choice or
solution regarding with a certain matter. In reading this, it affects my
emotion and I felt proud because at the age of fifteen I survived life
conditions. Just like Kafka, he faced the consequence and erase all the
negative thoughts in his mind. I felt proud because I also did the same thing
before. The effectiveness of this story has a lot of realization for me
especially as a student. Because its really happened when someone is tired of
being a student or a child, all we need is take a breath, run away and rest. But
this made me realized that in order to survive you have to be a stronger as you
are. And I think I’m strong enough to face consequences and consider myself as
a toughest teen year old.
