Murakami has this novel as his most prized possession, and even many of the plot and theme of the book also affected the later writing Murakami. Since this novel Murakami are to maintain great reverence, the more I dare not leave the emotion.
The main plot of the book I was through film and art as well as read the book, but because of not looking at the English original novel, so he did not like the translation of the writing style. Wait until the United States have the opportunity to still want to read the original English text of feelings!

Theme thinking
Theme: Concept of Love
"The Great Gatsby" still in Gatsby and Daisy
"The Great Gatsby" Daisy
There is no doubt that Daisy is so beautiful, and it just looks beautiful, but also social upper class family background, such a beautiful and rich wealth of the rich princess, I think as long glance, most boys will have their own ideas .
Daisy is a typical rich girl, sheltered, naive cowardly, hiding among the parcels of money and class housing, not taken any responsibility, and need to take responsibility.
Gatsby do, but the son of a farmer from the western United States, destitute, without any identity and status. If not for the outstanding performance in the army doing little jobs, and occasionally get a chance to participate in their children's high society ball, almost no Gatsby is actually in the bottom of society may be associated with the upper class wealthy one thousand Jin Daixi have communication.
In real life, if two people in which social class difference is too large, then that person is in the upper social strata, regardless of vision, ability, communication, hobbies and lifestyle, they are much larger than in the bottom of society that person.
Take a very simple example: at the moment there was a boy born in rural areas and small cities of the western five-line, parents are at home to do farm work farming for a living, he called small cover it. While another girl was born in Shanghai, the most prosperous area of the villa, the family parents drove several multinational corporations, billions of household assets, Debbie called her right.
When the small cover also helped parents hoeing vegetables for the next semester's tuition and distress, but Debbie is an international distress in the end choose which school easier. Small cap biggest hobby is barefoot and shrimp fishing in the pond, put themselves confused stench of mud everywhere, and working with her sister Debbie enjoying the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Germany Beethoven symphony music in the concert hall meeting. Small cover is the farthest place visited three dozen kilometers away from the market, he likes the night there because there can be powered overnight, rather than at home only to sleep early and frequent power cuts. At this time, Debbie has long been an international metropolis with his parents in Bali, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Paris, enjoy the holiday. Small cap and Debbie likes reading, but because conditions are relatively poor, and low levels of parental education at home is not supported see "light readings", resulting in a small covered high school do not understand social works, so do not know Hegel Rousseau we thought, do not even know that "social class," the word. Debbie grew up and have the best tutor taught to high school, she already has its own unique insights in the field of economy, politics, society, literature, nature, science and so on. (Well, I can not be written .........)
So in two different social classes of people just because of the gap between different owned wealth? No, not just in the state of wealth, in terms of vision, knowledge, interests, abilities, communication and so on have a very huge difference.
So even if two such people have the opportunity to talk once, it is there will never be too much communication, because of which the circle is completely different, not just the hands of the resources are not the same, their way of thinking and cognitive behavior not at all a world, it is basically not possible interactions .
Gatsby believed in the green light
Gatsby always on the green faith in
The orgastic future the year by year recedes
before us that year after year to indulge in the future away from us disappears
It eluded us then, but that's
no matter that when she fled from our palm, it does not matter
tomorrow we will run faster
tomorrow we will run faster
stretch out our arms farther and one fine
morning arm and then some of elongation
So we beat on
then is a wonderful dawn
Boats against the current
so we forge ahead, life boat, sailing against
Borne back ceaselessly
being constantly pushed back to
Into the past
until you return to past years
