They Always Made Me Curious
"The His Dark Materials Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite books.. I loved them all."-Arli(that's me! haha!)
Back in my second year, I finished reading the His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman. The installment was recommended to me by my cousins, Ate Ling and Ate Nina. They said it was worth reading so I ended up buying the three books.
I got so engrossed in the first book (The Golden Compass) so the minute I shut it close, "Ah! Nasan yung Subtle Knife ko?!" I was at the edge of my seat craving for the next one. And so, di ko mapigilan, tinapos ko na agad lahat.
Now, let's talk about the trilogy. They all revolved about Lyra, Will, Lord Asriel, Mrs. Coulter, daemons, the Magisterium and the Authority, etc. Yes, I'm a devoted Catholic and this kind of book was one of those kinds which.. kind of manipulate a person's belief in religion. But it's up to the person naman if he'll let himself get easily swallowed by fictional stories. I loved the plot, everything, but of course, ficion lang yun. Bat ako maniniwala diba?
Try to read the books. You'll love them. They'll make you think and probably get you inspired to write your own stories.
Maybe, tinitira lang ng books yung free will ng isang tao. I mean, kasi, in the story, there are millions, probably billions, of parallel worlds. And the world where the story revolves is a place where everyone had a daemon. Their daemons are their souls but in the form of an animal. Sa atin naman, yung soul natin, nasa loob natin.
So, when a child reaches adolescence, his daemon will have a permanent form. For instance, 8 years old pa lang siya, pwde pa mag-iba-iba ang form ng daemon niya. Pero pag 13 na ata or mature na ang pagiisip at pag-uugali, yung daemon nya, magstastay na sa isang form, at permanent na ito hanggang sa mamatay yung tao.
Err, basta. It's so hard to explain. The very idea is there but it's too vast for a kid like me to elaborate any further. hahaha!
Oh well.. This got me going on the Book World again.. Magbabasa nga ako mamaya.. hmm.. :)
