Upon reading the book I've developed an understanding of the story. Therefor I've brainstormed some initial ideas based on key elements within the book, that I found interesting. The exploration of mental health and grief throughout the book highlights how difficult it is to deal with these issues, especially when you can't quite figure out whats wrong and feel lost. Throughout the book Toru and Naoka long for a sense of understanding which they work towards through there letter writing which becomes a key symbol of communication and comfort, as Naoka finds comfort in explaining herself within these letters to Toru. Furthermore intimacy is a key theme that Toru searches for through multiple paterns and his inability to pick between Naoka and Midori.
Initial Ideas:
- Explore the use of letter writing
- Torus travels outside of Tokyo when he feels overwhelmed
- Look at Japanese symbols
- death
- love
- wellbeing
