 Edward F. Gales 2008-07-07 . chapter 1 This is a short story written by the popular author, Peter Chimaera, which explores the trials and tribulations of not only a school life, but a life which carries a great burden.
The protagonist, Heero, struggles day to day in his fight to not only obtain a scrumptious muffin, but to maintain the balance of penguins and evil. "No I am uhngry and this is not good", while seemingly an ordinary statement has an underlying tone which (when read by a professional writer such as myself, and not the immature pups who blast this godly work) one is able to delve into, and relate to on an emotional level. Some argue that this is, in as little as two words, “the best” example of Man vs. Self.
One might even question what would have happen had the muffin tasted good, could the fight have been stopped altogether, could the man described as 'it' been relieved of his cruel fate as prey to the flying muffin. What if the muffin had been a delicious cake, would ‘it’ have been forced to eat the said cake? Some authors, who I refuse to name, fail to see the depth that one is able to extrapolate for a more profound understanding. As for Heero's heartfelt sorrow which is described in such passion, "No!!" Heero was mad at all the penguins die.” for the untimely death of the penguins, which we can determine to be well over 90 if not more, is clearly the portrayal of the inner workings of this young man’s mind.
From an introverted, lunch-throwing child, we watch as Heero becomes a penguin-loving, thankful man for not only the timely save by Duo (another example of Peter Chimaera’s clever use of Deus Ex Machina), but for the possibility of there being more penguins. One could, with a keen eye and True interest in writing, seek their own understanding of this magnificent piece of art, yet many fail to do so. As a fellow writer and avid fan, I say no less than this: God has given you a gift, Peter Chimaera, and it is to write. Let no one tell you otherwise. Thank you, fine gentlemen (I tip you a cigarette) who support this. Thank you Peter for another piece of art, another example of English literature at its best, from which we green-horns can learn and study.
Yours truly,
A loving fan
Note: To those who insult the use of penguins in the North Pole, this is fictitious piece; therefore artistic license is key, correct? The penguins are simply a driving plot within the story, I laugh at those who fail to notice this. |
