-Hello-
Have you ever experienced “de javu”?
De Javu is a feeling that arises when we visit a place, or do something, which we
have done or visited before at a different time. In literature, de javu is
known as involuntary memory. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involuntary_memory
, Involuntary memory, also known as involuntary explicit memory, involuntary
conscious memory, involuntary aware memory, and most commonly, involuntary
autobiographical memory, is a subcomponent of memory that occurs when cues
encountered in everyday life evoke recollections of the past without conscious
effort. Voluntary memory, its binary opposite, is characterized by a deliberate
effort to recall the past. So, involuntary memory can be said as a person's
past experience as outlined in a media, one of them is children books. This time, I will discuss about involuntary memory in Hans Wilhelm's book, A Cool Kid Like Me.
So,
in the book A Cool Kid Like Me, Hans Wilhelm presented his childhood which was
a little less affectionate than the figure of a father. How he was born when
his father was imprisoned. Hans also grew up alone even though he had five
siblings, because they had been living separately as a child. In this book,
Hans tells his childhood fear for not being liked by friends his age.
He is known as a child who is
smart enough in his class. But rather than being called a nerd by his friends,
he actually liked. Of course, because Hans gave a cheat sheet to his friends,
so he didn’t get opposed by them. Hans’s childhood didn’t recognize television,
because for his parents television was a form of duping. Therefore, drawing is
the only way for Hans to fill his free time. Then, because Hans was categorized
differently from his peers, he was rarely involved in fights at school. Hans
also doesn’t like sports, because for him the sport is strange, such as causing
hatred of the loser to the winner.
-Thank You-
