Kiki delivery service

Overview of the novel A witch should not be content with flying, walking from time to time is better because we can talk to many people while walking.. and we can talk together so that each understands the other. ***** Iko Kadono wrote this novel in 1985, inspired by a drawing of her daughter depicting a witch flying in the sky and listening to the radio. The novel was turned into a film in 1989, produced by Studio Ghibli, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The author did not grant her witch Kiki supernatural powers, but wanted her to be an ordinary girl facing the hardships of daily life like any other girl her age. Therefore, she must rely on herself to earn her living, manage her affairs, and use her mind to solve the problems presented to her. Kiki learned from her journey of maturity that mingling with people, talking to them, and exchanging help is no less wonderful than flying in the sky, but it often surpasses it in magic, as it gives one the chance to learn the truth about others and to learn from them in one way or another, and this is the essence of the magic of daily life as the author describes. Sattasi says, "Having a witch often saves this city," but he does not know that magic does not necessarily involve amazing acts, for Kiki flies on her broom to deliver Christmas gifts, spring, music, and New Year’s. But above all, she delivers love, which she rediscovered within herself through her journey of maturity as a "witch."
