PERFORMANCE TASK 1

SHORT POEM
LIFE WITH TECHNOLOGY
I.
With technology everything run smoothly,
No need for old fashioned letters, we can now talk virtually
Access to the most recent gadgets, samsung, oppo, iPhone and realme
The world turned technological advanced and too distracted by the apps on our
phones that everyone turned a blind eye, from the comfort of the past.
II.
Before, children used to play outside
Hearing the rustling sound of paper and leaves
Playing, laughing, and crying with others
The old fashion face to face social interaction had erased from their lives and
that's just a bitter pill to swallow.
III.
We're mesmerized, hypnotized, and satisfied
By a metal device that sits in our pocket
We settle for something that cannot love us back
Emotion is the only thing that technology lack.

 Title: The Boy Named Crow by Haruki Murakami
Elements Aspects and Analysis
Plot (Sypnosis) It started off with a conversation between
Kafka and Crow, his alter ego. They were
talking about the plan of Kafka to run away
from home. On his fifteen birthday, he was
planning to execute his flee. With him are the
money he stole from his father, his cellphone
and hunting knife. Crow then advised him how
he might need more than that to survive, since
great trials await in his journey. He said that he
has to be the "toughest fifteen year old" if ever
we wants to survive in the real world.
Setting: time and place Old sofa in kafka's (15 year old boy)
father's study or in kafkas house
Theme Fate,virtues of self sufficiency, the mind
vs the body
Characters and Characterization
Main character/s: Kafka Tamura - a fifteen-year-old runaway
Other characters: living in Shikoku. Kafka decides to run away
on his fifteenth birthday and trains for the big
day for two years. He works out to build
strength and bulk, which makes him look older
than he really is. He also reads voraciously,
spending most of his time in the library, and
pays attention in class. He isolates himself from
other people, never laughs or smiles, and
prefers to be alone.

Crow - is sometimes a voice in Kafka's head,

Kafka himself or an actual crow. Sometimes he
appears to Kafka; other times Kafka only hears
his thoughts. The boy named Crow functions as
Kafka's alter ego, giving Kafka advice,
cheering him on, and narrating present and
future events.

Point of view used First person POV

Atmosphere/mood Mysterious, calm,
Narrative time Quest narrative
 Conflict of the story Man versus Himself - Kafka is continuously
exchanging reasons with Crow, which is
technically himself.
Symbols used Sandstorm-represent challenges, we
must face it.
Important lines/dialogue "You have to overcome the fear and
anger inside you."
“Let a bright light shine in and melt
the coldness in your heart. That’s what
being tough is all about.”
"Sometimes fate is like a small
sandstorm that keeps changing
direction. You change direction but the
sandstorm chases you. You turn again,
but the storm adjusts. Over and over
you play this out, like some ominous
dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn’t
something that blew in from far away,
something that has nothing to do with
you. This storm is you. Something
inside of you. So all you can do is give
in to it, step right inside the storm,
closing your eyes and plugging up your
ears so the sand doesn’t get in, walk
through it, step by step. There’s no
sun there, no moon, no direction, no
sense of time. Just fine white sand
swirling up into the sky like pulverized
bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm
you need to imagine."
