A1/A2: “On Meeting the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning” by Haruki Murakami Notes: The subject of fate, destiny, true love fascinates me.
B1/B5: “He was not unusually handsome, and she was not especially beautiful. They were just an ordinary lonely boy and an ordinary lonely girl, like all the others.” Notes: The author seems to address anyone who has ever felt lonely, and average…yet he says like all the others, so as to say even if you feel that way you are not alone. His did apply to me…and everyone else!
B1/C5: “The test they had agreed upon, however, was utterly unnecessary. They should never have undertaken it, because they really and truly were each other’s 100% perfect lovers, and it was a miracle that they had ever met.” Note: While maybe it was a miracle that they had ever met, I disagree that they should not have tested it. I tend to believe that things are exactly as they were meant to be, and therefore, if they were truly 100% perfect for each other and “meant to be” they would find each other again and be together. Maybe they did not get back together the second time, not because they had been through so much and didn’t remember their love but because destiny, fate or the will of the universe conspired to keep them apart because they really weren’t 100% perfect for each other.
A2: “Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her.” Notes: I think that everyone has had a moment where they think I should have said something to someone and maybe it would have changed the circumstances of the relationship or created a relationship where there was none.
A5: In my opinion, the story leaves the reader inspired to take chances. If He had only spoken to the girl maybe they’d be together.
