BRUNEI
BRUNEI
The story is told from the viewpoint of the oilfield laborer, Yazid, who
plays a significant role in it. The main point of the story is him. Only Yazid
and his ideas on death are the subject of the story. He spoke with his
friends and other oil field workers. The old guy who passed away in a fire
the night before they traveled to the derrick, as well as his friends, seemed
to be important to him, even if it was not clearly mentioned in the narrative.
His spirits were low after seeing his community demolished and burned.
The fire entirely consumed his house and his possessions. Only himself,
his friends, and his thoughts remained when all else had disappeared. He
continues to work as a derrick climber. I thought Yazid's personality was a
bit sad. He's careful and exhausted. He is preoccupied with dying, which is
the main theme of this story: how he looks forward to dying and isn't afraid
of it. Yazid is worried about having an extended period of suffering before
passing away. He can't stop thinking about how simple it was for his father
and the elderly man to pass away. Jamal, however, wants to pass away
quietly.
