Literature Analysis (Fiction)

 1. The book I decided to do for this assignment is called "I want to eat your Pancreas" by Yoru Sumino. The plot of this book is about two highschool students, one who isn't named throughout the book but is the protagonist and we read this book through his point of view. The other student, Sakura Yamauchi, is classmates with the protagonist and later on they become really good friends. In the beginning of the story, the protagonist comes across a journal while he was waiting in a hospital waiting room. Once he read parts of the journal he discovers that it was a diary that was kept by one of his classmates, Sakura. Sakura reveals to him that she has a pancreatic illness that is fatal. So she has been writing in that diary to just express her thoughts since nobody knows she will pass away soon, besides her parents and the protagonist. The protagonist and Sakura eventually become really good friends and go to places she always wanted to go before she dies. Spoiler!!!!: One night when the protagonist was watching the news, he finds out that Sakura was stabbed on her way home and she died. He breaks down and doesnt attend her funeral but at the end we became more open to people he meets and that it was all thanks to Sakura for changing him.

2. I think the theme on this book is that no matter the situation you're in, you should live the moment because you never know when it will be gone.

3. Based on Yoru Sumino tone throughout the book, I think their morning routine consists of getting up early up in the morning and starting off their day with a cup of tea. Maybe coffee sometimes and drink their tea or coffee with a healthy well rounded breakfast. They probably meditate too. I think Yoru Sumino is organized and really neat.

4. Right at the beginning of the book, they used paradox when the protagonist was reading out the title of the diary he found in the hospital. -"living with dying". Throughout the book, they also used a lot of imagery whenever the protagonist and Sakura went to the places she wanted to go before she died. Lastly, the author used mood from whenever the protagonist and Sakura were talking about her passing away soon.
