How are we the viewer or reader or player connected to the world?

Right from the beginning the writer of Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, Haruki Murakami was able to throw us into the world. The first sentence of the book talks about how the main character Tsukuru wanted to die. It draws us as viewers in, we become curious into why the character wants that and how he had gotten to that point in his life. Its not only the way Murakami draws us in but its how he keeps ups invested and interested in the story. His style of write has a nice flow to it and also us as readers to enjoy and relax while we read. Even though the story does a lot of hopping back and forth from the past to the present it seems natural and aloud us as viewers to slowly begin to understand Tsukuru as a person. By going back and forth between past and present we as viewers are being thrown into Tsukuru’s issues and problems. His issues are something that a lot of people, including myself can relate to. It shows us different ways of how to handle similar situations. Since Tsukuru is the only person to have gone through losing friends and it has happened to us as viewers from personal experiences we believe it. We buy that this world that he lives in is possible. Its not just the events that happen to Tsukuru that make his world believable it is also the small details that are written in the story. Its as easy as describing the location Tsukuru is located or having a conversation be interrupted but a waitress. These place and things like getting interrupted by a waitress are things that we as readers have all experienced therefore we are able to believe that this world that Tsukuru exists.
