- This is the third part of the story
- A man didn't not want to die, so he traveled to an island where people never die (perpetual life)
- On this land, people actually want to die or get sick.
- They get tired of the long, exhausting thing that is life. lol
- At first, Sentaro is happy about the island. This is what he wanted! He will never die. Instead, he will live for 100s of years and enjoy his life
- Time moves quick for him, and he isn't has happy as he expected. things start to annoy him
- He wants to go back to his old town, but if he does, he will grow old and die
- If I were to write this, I would make a modern city that never ages
- Maybe this man does try to die--like the others
- I could change this into teens that are scared to become adults
- They want to be young forever
- But, they get tired of being 17
- The crane comes back to get Sentaro
- The man regrets his choice as he leaves, but it is already to late!
- The crane and Sentaro fall into a sea
- He basically has a bunch of near death experiences
- drowning
- and then getting eaten by a shark!!
- He prays to Jofuku again, and it was all just a dream
- He can no longer avoid death, but that seems to be a good thing for him now
- A long life does not make you happy
- Instead, he enjoys the time that he has
- If I rewrote this, I would have a teen that realizes that getting older isn't an awful thing--there are freedoms and maturity that comes with adulthood. They can have that realization at the end!
