After reading what Luc said to the hero, I seem to find a problem that has been bothering me, that is, is it a good thing when you find the shortcomings or secrets that the other party doesn't want you to find?
But after reading this book, I think I was moved by this story, especially when I met a dumb girl and heard her shadow and begged him to say, "Help! Help me! " My nose is sour for no reason.
The girl gesticulated and asked him, "Does my shadow sound good?"
"Yes, your shadow's voice is crisp, charming and sweet. Just as perfect as you. "
"Find a small lamp to light up life for every shadow you stole, and find a hidden memory puzzle for them. This is all we ask of you. " ? _ Shadow
The book Shadow Stealer tells the story of a weak little boy who found that he could "steal other people's shadows", so he could "see other people's minds" and hear secrets that others didn't want to tell.
The author of this book, Mark Levy, is a famous French writer. His major works include The Shadow Stealer, If Everything Begins All Over Again, If This Is True, Where Are You, The Seventh Day of Eternity, etc.
The author has a rich imagination. Affection, friendship and love are the themes of this book, which let us find the true feelings and songs in his virtual world.
"He looks so desperate. He must not really want to yell at me to leave. I can't leave him here alone. It is a friend to be able to see through each other's words against your wishes, isn't it? "
Ivan is the hero's first friend and the guard of their school. Because the hero "I" is always punished by the teacher for cleaning, they often sit in the chair on the playground and chat.
A sudden fire destroyed Ivan's precious box, and he was in great pain. When the hero "I" asked him what was in it, he said "There is a letter from my mother".
The protagonist "I" heard his own shadow and said, "Actually, I have never seen my mother, and she has never written to me. I wrote all those letters to her, but I miss her very much and want to know what she will say to me. "
Ivan doesn't want to be found out that he has never received maternal love.
The hero boy went to his mother and said that he wanted her to write a letter to himself, which was what he wanted to say to himself when he was still in her belly.
The protagonist "I" secretly copied the letter and deliberately put the copied letter in Ivan's small box.
Sometimes it's a good thing that secrets we don't want to admit are discovered by others. Because the result is not necessarily as bad as we thought.
"The girl who can write' I miss you' with a kite is really hard to forget."
Claire is the girl who can write "I miss you" with a kite. She is the protagonist's first love. Claire is a deaf girl. They met on the beach when the protagonist was on vacation and played together every day.
In just over ten days, the hero told this deep ocean in Sargam that he would definitely come to see her again, but he never went there again.
Ten years later, the protagonist went to medical school. As time went on, Claire faded from his memory and even stopped thinking about her.
Sophie is the girl he met during his internship in the hospital. Sophie liked him, and he thought he liked Sophie until he went to the beach and met Claire again.
The hero found that his feelings for Claire were still there, and he decided to find Claire.
Sophie is just a passer-by Although she loves the hero, she can't love him in the end.
She is a sensible girl, but she first realized that the protagonist didn't love herself enough and broke up.
It is also because of Sophie's reminder that the hero discovers that the person he really loves is not Sophie in front of him, but Sargam whom he hasn't seen for many years.
"Love, is it like a shadow, someone stepped on it and took it away? Or is it because love is afraid of light like a shadow? In other words, the situation is just the opposite. Without light, the shadow of love is erased and finally leaves silently? "
When the hero was in the sixth grade, his father left home because he fell in love with another woman, and his father left with them forever.
After his father left, the mother of the protagonist "I" persisted, cared for him and accompanied him in order not to let him feel lonely, despite her pain.
Because the hero went to other cities to study medicine, he seldom visited his mother, and as a result, he didn't even have a chance to see his mother for the last time.
His mother kept his medical history secret and lived in a lonely house at the last moment of her life.
In endless pain, the protagonist feels guilty for not being with his mother when she needs it most.
I feel a little heavy after reading this book. I don't know the charm of this story, but I am still very excited and frustrated.
I think, maybe we need our shadow stolen once, so will something be different?
Just like Luc in the story, if the protagonist didn't listen to his shadow and say, "In fact, I really want to be a doctor, but our family runs a bakery and has no money for me to go to medical school," Luc said, "I don't have a dream, I need to help my parents open a bakery."
The hero persuaded Luke's father to let him go to medical school to be a doctor. After Luke went to medical school, he gradually realized that he didn't like being a doctor.
He appreciates the customers who walk into the bakery in the morning and eat his hot bread with satisfaction more than saving the patients.
So he went back and started making bread again. This time, he loves his job more and enjoys it.
There are no people who can steal pictures or know what we don't say, but there are people who want to understand and care about us.
Don't run away from your own shadow. Maybe that's the real you. Maybe some people like you just because of your shadow, and they want to get close to you.
