Enjoy the Little Things- Leary

         Oskar looks for the little things in life. He examines life as though it is a new scientific organism, breaking down and looking at every small and seemingly unnoticeable object that life has to offer. There is nothing he overlooks as for him everything has a meaning and a purpose. Often in life we simple look at the big picture and are so focused on the end goal that we stop to look around and take in the scenery. Oskar has an end goal of finding what his black key means, but he understands that to find the meaning he must examine every nook and cranny of life as sometimes it is where you least expect that you find your end goal. "Nothing is beautiful and true" (43). Oskar's outlook on life is calculated and realistic. While he examines all of life, his idea's are scientifically based on these findings. His ideas, while simple, bring out the essence of what it means to be alive. He knows what he lives for and who he loves and who he is. His analytical mind breaks down what his experiences and relates it to what he knows allowing for him to understand what is going on.
