I’ll bet that sometimes you have been so mad at someone, you just wish there was someway to make them leave...forever. The main character Light, has the power to do that with the Death Note; there is something extremely important that he must remember. Death Note’s author, Tsugumi Ohba, makes it clear that life has consequences, so you should always make the right choices.
Like many books, Death Note has a few main characters. One of the character’s names in Ryuk and he is a Shinigami also known as a Japanese Death God. Shinigami are a race of extra-dimensional beings who survived by killing off humans only to extend their own life with the power of the Death Note. The Death Note itself is a character because of its immense power and vigorous effects which if used incorrectly could bring huge consequences. Sadly, the death note landed in the hands of Light Yagami; a brilliant teenager who, with the power of the Death Note, was on a mission to kill all criminals and make it look like it happened on a whim.
While the characters are an important part to a story, the actual Death Note itself and what it’s used for is basically the whole plot line of the story. Light Yagami has a major effect on people’s lives. Literally. He can control whether you deserve to live or die; he can make it a horribly gruesome death or a simple heart attack. Any normal person would be severely punished for that. If you write somebodies name down in the old, dusty pages of the Death Note and how you want them to die next to it, they will die within forty seconds or the time that is written down. Any person that the Death Note’s pages fall into, can see the Shinigami. Light really has to be careful how he uses this vile book because of the major consequences that could potentially take place.
One of the many consequences of the Death Note would be that the malicious user can be tracked. Sadly, you are undercover for basically all of your life because of the mistakes that you made through your choices. Most people usually think through the possible consequences before they take such a vigorous action.
Through the words and pictures of Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba, its makes it clear that you should always make the right choices because life has consequences. The next time that you have to make a decision, large or small, make sure that you have thoroughly thought it through. Or be impulsive like Light. Whichever.
