Entry 15
(Day 21)
A
couple days ago I saw Kiki’s Delivery Service. My friend thought that the movie
while entertaining had little intellectual value. The story follows the usual
themes of growing up and trying to find yourself. I appreciated the story
because Kiki goes to an entirely new town and starts a delivery service there.
It seems so by the book but this twist is more interesting than just the
typical school environment. She learns through a more hands-on, practical education.
Here in this town she is applying her skills- using her witch powers in order
to positively impact those around her. I think her temporarily losing her
powers is emblematic of finding something you took for granted stripped away.
In other to keep moving forward, you have to learn more about yourself. The
same tactics you were using just a few days ago may no longer be valid. For
that reason, I think that Kiki’s Delivery Service aptly portrays the heart of
the journey that is growing up.
