Having just been hit by a car, I rushed over to see if Gunther was still breathing.

English
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
7 0

The sentence contains misplaced modifier.

According to the sentence, the one got hit by the car was Gunther. However, putting "I" as the subject of this sentence means that "I" was the one got hit.  ("Having just been hit by a car"  and "rushed over..." were done by the same person - "I")

So that, this sentence should be corrected, the following is an example:

<em>"Gunther had just been hit by a car, I rushed over to see if he was breathing."</em>

Answer:

At first glance, it may seem that ‘Tokyo Blues‘ is about a typical story in which a teenager is in a love triangle. And to some extent, it's true. But the history of Murakami manages to turn events around and highlight the importance of how they happen. It is a short novel, but not light. I have to admit that at the beginning I had my doubts but I really enjoyed reading.  

Tokyo Blues back cover

Although the premise can be seen, the story is told with tact, sensitivity and rawness at some times. All these elements make it a very special book. The story stars unusual characters. Everyone has some emotional tare and some ghosts of the past. They are caught between nostalgia and monotony.

Death, sex, disease and insecurity are key elements in ‘Tokyo Blues’. They are present in virtually the entire book and continually condition the story. So are music and literature because despite the fact that Murakami is a Japanese writer, he is fascinated by certain Western elements that (from what I have read) he introduces into almost all his works. In this case, jazz or The Beatles (who title the book with "Norwegian Wood"), Truman Capote, Fitzgerald or Raymond Chandler.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

“Living to Tell the Tale” is the first volume of the autobiography of Gabriel García Márquez.

The book was published in Spanish in 2002, .Living to Tell the Tale tells the story of García Márquez' life from  the year he was born in Aracataca, and the mid-1950s, when he experimented in journalism to pay his bills and finish his first novel, “Leaf Storm”. The book ends with his proposal to his wife. It focuses heavily on García Márquez' family, schooling, and early career as a journalist and as short story writer, and includes references to numerous real-life events that ended up in his novels in one form or another, including the “Banana massacre” that appears prominently in “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and the friend of his whose life and his death were the model for “Chronicle of a Death Foretold.”

The citation from the book that most strongly supports the narrator making the connection that he and his mother are abandoned like the thief’s family is:

"Me siento como si yo fuera el ladrón" —( "I feel like I am the Thief")
