Soon he broke the world record and flew 165 km/h. He was never satisfied with himself and always wanted to improve his flying so he practiced every day. Whatever he did, he always came back to himself. He was not interested in the flock and hanging out with the seagulls. He wanted to please them but he did not feel happy with that kind of life. His parents begged him to join the flock again and try to live with the other seagulls. He separated himself from the flock and became a loner. He pushed his limits every day but practicing complicated twists and turns. He wanted to reach the biggest speed and fly as fast as possible. He was a rebellious seagull not interested in rules.

His primary goal wasn't to fly every day in search of fishermen leftovers. Jonathan Livingstone Seagull could never fit in with the other seagulls.

Richard focuses on what is important to the plot and he does notcomplicat4e everything with details. A lot of different storytelling techniques are combined here such as inner monolog, dialogue, monolog, description, and storytelling. Richard Bach went with short and simple sentences and the plot was also like that. The time and place are not specified but it is generalized that the place is the sea and the shore and that it is present time. Because of that, we could say that we have a combination of an allegorical story and a modern fairytale.īy writing a story about a seagull that was never satisfied with something average but always wanted to accomplish something more Richard Bach actually wrote about human life and the way a single person functions inside a community. It's not only a modern fairytale but also an allegorical story because the whole plot points out to something more that the story appears to be telling.
