The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories

This Entrie is about a Book of poems that tell the stories of children with various defects.
In His pages, we meet: Oyster Boy, Stain Boy, Roy the Toxic Boy, Robot Boy, Match Girl, Staring Girl, Penguin Boy...

Tim Burton is the Writer of this book, In which we find some similarities with the characters in his films.

No it is difficult to encounter the tragic Penguin of Batman returns, despised by their parents because born with flippers instead of hands.

I can not find on recall another character that I wake up as much pity that I caused this unfortunate man penguin thrown by their parents to the waters of a canal in a wicker basket like a polluted version of the myth of Moises.

The baby with fins is picked up by the Zoo penguins who adopt it as they had done the pharaohs of Egypt. As the monster grows also increases his obsession with knowing who his parents were and why they did what they did.

My favourite scene of Batman is, The Penguin in front of the tomb of his parents is heartbreaking, and although the poor beast seeks forgiveness, we all know that the wound that what is going through a wound death.
Carlo (Oyster Boy) and his desolation has much resemblance to Edward Siccsorhands
Kids of this book are similar to characters in his films.
I LOVE this book, For that I am identified with his characters, for me, I have not been lonely, but I have always been rare, compared with the average people.

My Favourite Story is Stain Boy.

Stain Boy:

"Of all the super heroes,

the stranges one by far,

doesn't have a special power,

or drive a fency car.

Next to Superman and Batman,

I guess he must seem tame

But to me he is quite special,

and Stain Boy is his name.

He Can't fly around tall buildings,

or outrun a speeding train,

the only talent he seems to have

is to leave a nasty stain.

Sometimes i know it brothers him,

that he can't run or swim or fly,

and because of this one ability,

his dry cleaning bill's sky-high."

Finish
