Book Information & Summary
Written and Illustrated by Jeon Gum Ha
There is a day when I feel somewhat frustrated and nausea with headache. I feel sick somewhere and something seems to be wrong without reasons strangely enough. Like this, the main character seems to be very upset while continuing to talk with his shoulder down. The main character sometimes regrets and talks to himself that he didn’t mean to do so for his defense. It seems that he has such a hard day.
At that moment, someone reaches out his hand to the main character as if he understands how the main character feels now. However, the main character still wants to be alone and tells him to leave him alone with almost crying face. After crying out loud, the hand carefully approaches him again. Pat-pat. Pat-pat. The main character begins to cheer himself up thanks to the hand who sympathizes him by saying, ‘I understand how you feel.’ and gives comfort. This story warmly pats and pats frustrated readers.
The main narration consists of emotional changes in this book. Therefore, the writer tries to present the story of main character by using various visual effects. A square-shaped body turns into red, yellow, and green according to how he feels, and shows how the main character feels now. Furthermore, the floor doesn’t play a role as a simple background. It begins going up to the ceiling of the page according to the main character’s emotional flow, so the page sometimes is filled with the floor or floats down to the bottom of the page. By doing so, diverse emotions are intuitively revealed. The writer suggests readers to turn each page slowly one by one following through these sensual images.
