Saving Fish From Drowning 3

Rejoice From Problems

            This is the last journey of struggling human rights in Burma as now we call as Myanmar. As we knew from the midst of the stories in this novel, Burma was in bad situations. It was under being controlled by the repressive regime, Military Regime, which had made people in Burma fell into worst troubles in their life. I remembered some of the problems such as this regime burned the villager’s houses, killed them, and took  their things like money, or anything else. Those problems made Burmese were in pain, they wanted to escape from this regime, so they chose to go to the hidden forest and isolated themselves from the world because there was no one can com into Burma’s location. Burma was too closed with other part of the world especially the journalists were absolutly forbidden to do something in Burma. I think, they did not want to share with the world what have done in Burma; bad or good. They do not the world knew what had happened in Burma actually. For a long time people who dislike with this regime isolated themselves in the hidden forests while they were thinking about the way out from this problems, the solution to reform the government system in Burma, so that there was no regime anymore that controlled everything, every part of Burmese’s life.

As the first clue, Belinda has been found a videotape, belonging one of the eleven American tourists missing in Burma. Where were they? No one knew about it. GNN was the media which can help Burmese, and finding the eleven American tourirsts missing. Second, she also found the secret recesses that showed thing behind the veil of secrecy of Burma. This was the opening or the ending of this regime because the Burmese had realized that the military had taken what their’s owns. The Burmese expect that no more deforestation, no more clearance for pipelines, no more cutting trees to heroin ciltivation, no more control of the land because the land is Burmese’s owning. Also the realization of Burmese got them into reformation of Burma. Thus, they want the freedom of speech, the freedom of living peacefully, the human rights (Burmese’s Rights), returning their land and replaced and changed things that had been made by the Military Regime. This movement I called as “Rejoicing”. As we know now the name of Burma has been changed into Myanmar with the new system of government and politics behind it as well.

            From this stories, we knew that Amy Tan want to share with us what happen wth the fish when it has to save from drowning. Their death time was coming. The description of this metaphor is the Repressive Regim, Military Regime in Burma, the end of the Regime is the metaphor of the end of the fish. I think in that way. And I do not know if there is another things in this novel “Saving Fish From Drowning”. This is so interesting to see the way of writing metaphor novel that show the polotical messages behind it, the description or the background of the country, Myanmar or Burma, as a history, but the way of description is different. I think, the ending of this novel is the Nature Happy Ending that was the end of the Unhappy Nature. In my opinion, Myanmar became a good country after this events.

The Reformation Movement or the Revolution Movement come from the things that people realize are needed and the Dignity must be at the top of everything and also Human Right.
