Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adapts. You repeat it over and over, like an ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm is not something that came from afar, something that does not concern you. This storm is you. Something inside you. So all you can do is give up, step into the storm, close your eyes and plug your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There is no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling in the sky like pulverized bones. This is the kind of sandstorm you have to imagine. And you will really have to overcome that violent, metaphysical and symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it may be, make no mistake: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Warm and red blooded. You will collect that blood in your hands, your blood and the blood of others. And once the storm passes you won't remember how you survived, how you survived. In fact, you won't even be sure if the storm has really passed. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who went in. This storm is just that." P.5-6This quote is significant for the character Kafka. It is significant because Kafka talks a lot throughout the book. This quote introduces Kafka's adventure, when he runs away from his father and searches for himself. The quote it means you can never be sure what will happen to you and you can't change… the middle of the paper… the person was made up of the components of two people. Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never thought much about it But then God took a knife and cut them all in half, right down the middle. So from then on the world was only divided into males and females, and the result is that people spend their time running around trying to locate. their missing sweetheart.” P.39This quote explains Kafka's point of view about Mrs. Saeki I think because he has a strong feeling towards her, even though he never met her Mrs. Saeki, but he also has the feeling that she is his mother. This would make her father's Oedipal curse come true, but he cannot walk away from her. This quote shows the theory that we all have someone who is meant for us and who is waiting. It can also mean that the world is based on finding your soulmate.
