THE SHADOW

THE SHADOW

This is not a story like those re-read ones in which there’s a handsome night or a gorgeous princess, or even a happy ever after. In fact, this is a not known among the most readable stories reality. Thus, some people may presuppose that it has a kind of mean argument and outcome as well.

You know that the bases are those having an introduction, a following plot or complication and the outcome, which its characters usually gain the best counterpart of them. As I’ve said before, this is not similar by any instance as the ones described above.

What’s more, yes, there’s an single character and a plot, but the particular interesting feature here is that there’s no introduction, meaning beginning, and we cannot state the ending as well.

We can take a shadow as the main actor, representing someone we know or imagine. This shadow is going to develop her reflection in life for good of bad, depending the environment in which she is going to be brought up. As well, she is going to incorporate knowledge from her context and this knowledge will determine her path throughout the society. We have to make a pause here, because the impact of society on the shadow will be of a mayor importance as, sometimes, we my have a clear idea in mind of some theme, nevertheless, society can change this view within seconds.

So, that is how the shadow is going to be brought up, developed, will take up the necessary information for her needs in life, and then make her own decisions, having in mind the impact in the society in which she constitutes herself a minimum link.

We of course, may presuppose that WE can be the shadow ourselves……and then the question arises……. Are we the kind of shadow we want to be???…. Or some other shadow that has been modelled society like????…………..
