After reading a book, I believe everyone has a lot to share. Let's write a reading note and record your gains and feelings. Then can I write reading notes? The following are my carefully compiled reading notes of Kafka by the Sea (3 selections) for reference only. Let's have a look.
Reading Notes on Kafka by the Sea 1 As a work full of magic and absurdity, Kafka by the Sea is a special attempt of Haruki Murakami. He chose a boy of 15 years old as the leading role. Anyone familiar with Murakami knows that the protagonists in his novels are all adults around the age of 30, with mature thoughts, rebellious personality and concise and direct language. This time, 15-year-old Tamura Kafka became the hero. In Haruki Murakami's own words, it is "because they are still' changeable', their souls are still in a soft state without a fixed direction, and their values and lifestyles have not been firmly established."
However, you and I both know that it was an era of rapid growth after 15 years old. Our thoughts challenge one mountain after another that we have never climbed, and at the same time we are as hesitant as wandering in the wilderness. Various factors of life slowly converge here, break through the shackles and form a truly independent self. How bumpy and hard this process is, I'm afraid I'll never forget it in my life.
The protagonist named himself Weikafka, obviously influenced by Kafka's melancholy and lonely style. Sometimes, a name has no special meaning, just a feeling. Since then, the protagonist has been wandering on the edge of life with this unique lonely temperament. He is not an ordinary teenager. He was abandoned by his mother and cursed by his father. His life is doomed, but he is so tenacious. Under the guidance of his own soul, he explored the connection with the outside world alone and untied the fetters with fate.
Reading another hero, Nakata Hiroshi, makes people taste the bitterness of being a man from a completely different side. Nakata suffered a mysterious accident in his childhood, lost his reading and writing ability and became illiterate. He is isolated from the world and leads a safe and regular life of poverty. Talk to the cat, talk to yourself, without any dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Just when we all thought he would spend his old age safely, fate still didn't let him go. He was guided by mysterious accidents and found the starting point of his life.
Similar to "The End of the World" and "Cold Wonderland", this narrative method with two main lines interspersed allows readers to fully experience the * * * nature of reading. When the main line approached the intersection step by step, I felt my blood rushing to my brain, so that I had to stand up to continue reading.
As a key figure in the book, Saeki, the mother of Tamura Kafka, is my favorite and most sympathetic person. Her life came to an abrupt end when she lost her lover in her teens. The tragedy stems from her fascination with the heavenly life and her rejection of the dirty world. She wanted to build a fortress to escape from the outside world, and opened the "entrance stone" with multiple symbolic meanings, and the punishment of fate came out. The life trajectories of Kafka and Nakata seemed doomed at that moment.
After countless jaw-dropping events, Saeki and Nakata met. The lives of two people have also come to an end in a sense. Saeki died peacefully on his desk with an elegant smile, and he died in his undisturbed sleep. These two lives, which are linked by accident and necessity, are bitter in heart, but they have also experienced a deep collision between life and death that ordinary people can't understand, and their souls have become pure and returned after vicissitudes.
At this time, Kafka was doomed to be destroyed step by step. His depression is near the tipping point. He found his beloved mother, but he knew he would never be near her again. There is nothing in the world that he wants. When he walked into the dark forest symbolizing the third space, he abandoned everything on which he lived. Let a person feel a desperate determination. The powerlessness of life, the powerlessness of fate, the powerlessness of original sin, the sinister and unpredictable adult world, and the mess of human nature made him unbearable. He finally moved towards eternal nothingness.
At the last minute, Saeki's idea appeared. She told Kafka-in fact, the author told us-to live.
"As long as you love me, it doesn't matter if you are forgotten by others."
The world is sinister, but in some places, it is extremely warm and beautiful. Life is like this. No matter how fate plays, how tired and melancholy it is, its significance lies in the process of life. Without experience, there will be no memories, and white paper will never give people a feeling. Sometimes living is really a braver choice than death.
In this book, I saw not only Kafka, but also Freud, Hegel, Rousseau and Plato. Their thoughts sparkled in the thick clouds, but they left a strong impression on people. Haruki Murakami, with his unique technique, seems to insert these fragments of thought at will in the dialogue between characters, but he has achieved a very natural and wonderful effect.
Perhaps this is an absurd dream; Perhaps, this is a deep helplessness. In any case, these words are the only words that can make you think about human nature in a noisy world. As the author himself said, Kafka is an extreme, but he has you and me. When you see these shadows, I wonder if you will cry at everything after the fog clears like Hoshino: "Come on, when have you ever cried before?" I don't remember.
Reading Kafka's Notes by the Sea 2 Actually, the idea of writing about reading after reading began with reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, but I really failed to understand this book. The endless Arcadia and Ollie Reano alone make me rack my brains, not to mention the Latin American historical and cultural symbols that I don't know at all.
Kafka by the sea is not good either. Although the context of the whole story is generally clear, I still feel that I don't understand anything. The book clearly tells you that it is full of metaphors, but you can't understand what metaphors are.
Even so, at least I feel uncomfortable after reading it. Uncomfortable is feeling.
Haruki Murakami read a lot of books from the third year of high school to the freshman year. I don't feel much about his novels, and the plot and wording are always obscure. His novels are always full of explicit love descriptions, which are direct but not pornographic. It seems that every behavior has its emotional necessity, even if it has to be said, such paragraphs are always the most eye-catching. I prefer his prose, and I can feel his unique ideas and retro romantic feelings from Murakami Asahi Hall to what I am talking about when I am running. It is precisely because of his interesting and eccentric ideas that I have an obvious love-hate relationship with his articles.
Even if I don't understand, even if I can't understand his metaphor, even if I need to read other people's book reviews to understand more, Kafka by the sea can still give me some touches. Most of them touched the writing style of Haruki Murakami. I am a person who is easily influenced by other people's writing style. For example, when reading Lu Xun, writing articles may be bitter, while when reading Lin Yutang, he also wrote some essays that pay attention to the interest of life. What attracts me most about Haruki Murakami is dialogue.
In my opinion, the dialogue in the novel is roughly the novelist's own inner collision, questioning and answering. In Haruki Murakami's books, dialogues are often compact in rhythm and straightforward and profound in content. Unlike the question and answer that people have when they really communicate, otherwise there will be friction. No matter Tamura Kafka versus Oshima, Saeki or Nakata versus Hoshino, there are always some direct and unsmooth conversations, and some are slightly mysterious. This kind of dialogue is so like asking and answering questions, that I will habitually analyze myself with powerful quick questions and answers. The crow in the book is another personality of Tamura Kafka, who usually guides him or answers his doubts. But in fact, the dialogue of each character in it is just like the dialogue between crow and Kafka, with the purpose of pointing to troubles and contradictions.
Of course, I still have to admit frankly that my qualifications and experience really didn't make me understand this book. However, a recurring sentence in the book can still be remembered: "You are the strongest fifteen-year-old boy."
Reading Notes of Kafka by the Sea 3 "Kafka by the Sea" was read halfway before I understood why Murakami wanted to publicize the whereabouts of Kafka, a dull but mysterious old man and a lonely and well-off teenager Tamura.
At first, the more I read, the more confused I became. Two completely unrelated people, unrelated events! One is Nakata and Cat in Tokyo, the other is Kafka Tamura and Shadow in Shikoku, and the other is Nakata and Johnny in Tokyo. Walker, Kafka and Takamatsu's library, and then Nakata killed Jonny. In a daze, Walker hitchhiked all the way to Shikoku, accompanied by a young truck driver, Hoshino, who made a special trip to Takamatsu to find a stone at the entrance. The strange old man's two unintentional predictions were magically fulfilled along the way, which made two fish and insects appear in the sky strangely and inexplicably. A series of events after Tamura Kafka met Saeki, the hostess of the library, are gradually related to what Nakata did, and the interface point is "the stone at the entrance". "The stone at the entrance" is an abstract body around Kafka and Saeki. These five words once appeared in Saeki's lyrics. In Nakata and Hoshino, the "stone at the entrance" really exists. When the so-called entrance stone was discovered and opened by two confused people, absurd phenomena appeared-lightning and thunder, which were extremely horrible. Kafka made peace with a beautiful female boss who was more than 30 years older than him, and Kafka made peace with Saeki. Although it was the prophecy and spell of Tamura's father, the mysterious relationship between Nakata and Kafka finally surfaced. What is the relationship between Nakata and Kafka? Is Saeki Kafka's biological mother? Does Nakata have anything to do with Saeki? Wait, wait, wait. You won't know the mystery until you finish reading the novel.
Murakami's books use the traditional techniques of China's Zhang Hui's novels, which are full of suspense and fascinating. Generally speaking, it is still the presentation style of Murakami, with mellow taste and insufficient taste.
