Fruits Basket: A Social Psychology Analyses

If you analysed each and every character in Fruits Basket carefully, they're all analogies of one social problem, mental illness and prevalent adolescent dilemmas.

Tohru Honda is representative of a pupil ostracized for coming from a hard family condition. A poor orphan in a sea of ignorant peers trying to survive each day's loneliness. A representative of children who come from 'troubled' homes.

Sohma Kyo - another ostracized pupil whose sole fault is being born a cursed zodiac. He can be an analogy for children being born with some form of developmental disability aka Special Needs Child analogy.

Sohma Yuki - a possible analogy for autism spectrum. He appears to not make friends easily.

Sohma Ayame - this is definitely histrionic and narcissism.

Shigure Sohma - Hyperactivity. Really, the man is like a bouncing ball that never settles.

Sohma Momiji - child abandonment/neglect. Both his parents practically dumped him when the mother suffered nervous breakdown after giving birth to Momiji.

Akito Sohma - severe depression, bordering on schizophrenia.

Sohma Hatori - he is representative of all human beings who carried a emotional baggage one way or another. We are all shrouded by mistakes we will regret for a lifetime, or a secret so terrible you'd take it to the grave and also social withdrawal caused by traumatic events. Hatori never actually speaks unless spoken to.

Rescue Gone Awry

Last night I spotted an old dog in my apartment compound. It was late at night so I thought I'd go look for him tomorrow. One look, and you'll know he is an abandoned pet, he still had a collar on his neck and VERY FRIENDLY with hoomins.

This afternoon, I went out to look for him after throwing my garbage. I looked everywhere and when I was about to head home to call it a day, like magic he popped up in front of me.
OH MY GOD I have never felt so relieved. Then I remembered, even with my phone with me I did not had Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better's number and dashed up too look for the number and when I got it I came back down, the dog was lost.

I tried searching everywhere and all of a sudden a stray attacked me and although not bitten, thankfully, I was left with this:

I am still bummed over these wounds and the fact that I had broken my glasses in the process. I feel like almost giving up on looking for the dog. But my heart wouldn't rest, I feel like I had to do something. So I emailed details to MDDB and now I can only hope for the best.
