Murrakami Vs Murakami

I compared the book by Haruki Murakami with the book by Yoko Ogawa, to my understanding, the former one is a book of complex evil that people hold inside, while the latter one is a book of pure goodness that people express outside. In the other word, the book reveals that everyone has his/her own dilemma and dark side, but we usually choose to hide in deeply inside of our heart, bury it with our history. However, the book teaches us that humanity did not extinct, there do exist pure goodness in the world that people tend to express it outside to others, I am going to confirm the above points in details in this paper later.

First of all, I have found out that in , everyone has his/her own dilemma and dark side, but they choose to deal …show more content…
The professor cared about Root (kids), the housekeeper cared about his son, Root cared about both the professor and his mother. Even if a person who is as selfish as the professor’s sister in law, she would agree to endure the jealous and keep the housekeeper only because she cared about the one she loved--the professor. They need to be stronger, braver, and more positive in order to protect the one that they cared from their dark sides and dilemmas.

It feels like that two miracles happened in just one night. Both of the miracles come because she opened her heart to Takahashi and her sister Eri, she decided to cheat them wholeheartedly, she learned to express her care for others outside. This correct choice brings sunshine to their lives, and that is when the real story of “after dark” actually starts. What’s more, Takahashi decided to abandon music and concentrate more on studying law in school, in my opinion, he did that because he found the one that he actually cares about--Mari, and he wants to become a better person for her. I believe that he will have a bright future as well after dark. There is no doubt that those two people in survived themselves in the end because they cared about each other. The book did not mention about the ending for the other people, but as long as they can find the one that they
