I think he feels control over his life, and he doesn't want his life to pass unremarked and unremembered. <br />There is anger in his character, anger at his situation, the anger of the marginalized. I think he hates how he is dismissed while he is alive because of his deformity, and he feels this dismissal will of course become obscurity upon his death. <br />William Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889140907592265520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437763168521110194.post-7845619797210791532013-04-14T23:07:48.428-05:002013-04-14T23:07:48.428-05:00Kashiwagi writes a sentence over a poster in his r...Kashiwagi writes a sentence over a poster in his room:<br /><br />I can't stand an unknown life.<br /><br />would you care to extrapolate on the meaning? If the poster slogan beckons the audience to a journey of discovery, perhaps he is affirming his desire for control over his own world, i.e.;" to hell with discovery, I only am interested in dealing with what I can control and command?"<br /><br />..or is he stating the power of knowledge over one's surroundings?<br /><br />what are your thoughts?Svenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414815083075269480noreply@blogger.com
