Underground 3
One story from Underground really stood out to me. It's the one with the paralyzed girl Shizuko, who had the amazing support of her brother Tatsuo. They have such a bond that he would visit her everyday after work. The author definitely made it his business to interview her even though she was not fully self mobile and her speech was off. Even though someone who didn't personally know her as a vegetable, she was human. Murakami saw a light in her eyes which represented hope. She didn't remember anything prior to the accident, but for some reason, she dreamed of going to Disneyland in Tokyo with her family. She was so sweet and joyful. That touched my heart!
Her story touched my heart. I felt very sad for her situation. She is very strong girl. After being in a comma she even learn again how to smile and she never gave up. She was the one that took care of her parents. I feel bad that she never go married. Hopefully she can get better with time and be happy again.
