This is seriously getting annoying, I have spent the last 8 hours procrastinating over Youtube and MSN.
I haven't updated my blog in ages. Don't have time I guess. ==" (I know I'm contradicting myself here.)
The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami-
So.
I've chosen the following short stories-
The Second Bakery Attack
The Elephant Vanishes
The Kangaroo Communique
Family Affair.
I'm probably going to change.. but this is roughly what I'm sticking to.
I have so many questions about the stories, what do they actually mean?
The Volcano in the second bakery attack, is it a conceptual metaphor, if so, what for?
UGH.
What is the significance of the kitchen being "out of place" in the Elephant vanishes... ?!?!?! I get the whole theme of Imbalance.. but seriously? I don't get how that is really significant...
UGH.
The kangaroo Communique...
I dont get it at all, the guy is a freaking perv who tries to pick up a girl through his job at a complaint processing centre in a store. =="
Family Affair-
hmmm... I don't get this one either. but I sense something about family and duty... ugh..
Akutagawa and Rashomon? even harder to fully comprehend.
