If we think as we live in the world today , if we stopped and we wonder .Where do we go? It will be the rhythm of life that I`m doing? I think more than once we have done this question. Read these three mini stories made me think much as the focus on ourselves we don`t see the whole picture of the life.
People around us day by day and problems of their own and sadness, as in the case of the teenager girl absorbed by the book Thucydides, so much so that she felt guilty about not reading and don`t do any translation, that finished on a series of events, losing classes and discovering the infidelity of her father, losing the admiration for him, and to understand that also make mistakes as any human being.
This must have been hard for a teenager, but even she, who had his own problems, finding that kind of person is , and selfishness own any of us had at that age. Communication is something that is lost every day, is something that happens in all households even more now with social networking whole families connected by this media (in my case, I with my sister who recently moved to Santiago or my mother who I don`t see in all the day.) In fact, the lack of communication is an ongoing problem, modern, equally affecting the family, work, interpersonal relations and in the storie the German boy , we see the narrator's lack of communication with his wife, trying toavoid reality, focusing on other things, it leaves and then what really matters, preferring to think in other things or to give full attention to others, such as the girl submerged in the thick book, and avoiding school. In the case of the man and his dog Lucky the lack of communication he had with his boss, because he does not tell him that he felt accompanied with Dingo, and clearly it was not like everyone else, that was really special and why not also this lack of communication of how to express what our heart really feel what we see reflected in Klaus, and never communicate their discontent and their problems trying to adapt to a new peer group, which is always difficult and more so in a foreign country and with a very different kind of language, and this added to the mock contast their language, German. As close to tell what was happening and annoying, is when every night crying and taking out what he could not say. And as he take the drastic decision to wanting to do not communicate in English anymore.
On the other hand we see the loneliness expressed in different ways in the three ministories, such as the girl was very lonely and that throughout her story never names a friend or anything like that, she was not going to school, she was a very introverted girl, took refuge in the solitude of his thoughts which were his only company. For instance the man in the history of Dingo, also had a solitary life, their days were passing one after another, without anything different, without any emotion apart from work with animals , leading and protecting the cattle, repairing the fence.Until that dingo little pup of meat to his life, until that little pup of dingo came to his life, from that moment he knew the love and friendship, the man acquired a preocupation, he had to look for Lucky, but he won the major price with his pet . In the story "The German boy" we see loneliness in Klaus, because at first he was all alone coming from a different country, they saw as a kind of freak, which changes slightly with time, but what finally decided to dive even further in his solitude. The narrator of this book is set much at this point of loneliness when he says "She looks desolate and has the same expression on her face as Klaus had, as if she is a place Where She Does Not Belong" which to a lesser extent the perhaps, at that time also it is affecting as he feels that does not belong to this place much as before, to that office that is about to crumble.
Another point that we see in the three stories and always exists in our lives is love, many things are done for love , good and bad. In these short stories are seen in different ways.
Daughter's love Father in "Thucydides" which is broken and disappointed by what she knew, because what her father was doing, having a younger hide lover, being disloyal with his wife and so on, that girl collapsed, that was to much information for her, then she fell in something like depression a deep sadness, that changed her point of view and her life , the pure love of man towards his Dingo, Lucky, here are friendly furthermore a high sense their souls connected of loyalty, friendship grown up with the every day and every night. Love in "The German boy" is the love of family, and how hard he has worked for it to go ahead after his father committed suicide.
Each of the stories had something that made him special, contained facts that many times we see it in real life, however come from a far away country.Such as mitched class, the infidelity of couples, the loss of a pet or a good friend, the fear of starting over, the fear of failure, fear of not being accepted, remind people we don`t see long ago etc.
We see in this big world all have the same difficult problems, and that is within us as to cope as best as possible. Enjoying and exceeding the steps gives us life. In this way, and we got through the difficulties, being stronger and get better people.
