The tin drum" is a remarkable story. It is a novel very difficult to understand. It is not important if you read the novel in German or if you read it in Spanish. The language Günter has used is very complicated.

The plot of the story is also very complicated. The protagonist of the story is a boy named Oskar. When Oscar turns into three, he makes a very important decision for the rest of his life. He decided not to grow up anymore. In his third birthday Oscar receives a gift of great value. A drum Tinplate.

Oskar decides not to grow up, because he was tired of the world of adults and the horrors of war. He thinks that being a child of three years is easier.

When you are a child, everything is easier. A child does not have so many responsibilities and problems.

The problem is that as the book is an autobiography written by Oskar, it is not easy to understand if what he says is true or what he says is a lie. Besides this novel belongs to the genre of magic realismus.

In the first story, Oskar begins his teil from a sanatorium. Oskar is schizophrenic. In the psychiatric clinic Oskar only has one friend. The nurse.

From this santatorio Oskar begins to write his autobiography. In the following chapters Oskar introduces us to the characters of the story.

Grandma: A strong woman. A poor woman and humble.

Grandpa: The grandfather. A man who had three names: Koljaiczek, Joe Colchic and Wranka. A man who disappears and spend the rest of his life in the United States.

Oskar's Mother: A woman. A bad woman. A woman who has two loves. A woman who commits suicide. She loves fish.

Father of Oskar: A man who loves his son Oskar and his wife. He is an expert cook. He belonged to the Nazi party.

Father of Oskar: A man who loves his son Oskar and the wife of his friend.

Jan Bronski. A mailman.

MARY, a beautiful young 16 years of age. After the death of Agne, Oskar's mother, Mary married Alfred, the first father of Oskar. Alfred and Mary have another son named Kurt.

Kurt: brother of Oskar. Oskar does not believe that Kurt is his brother, Oskar believes that he is his son.

This is the easiest way I have found to introduce the characters in the novel.
The tin drum is a beautiful story. Oskar its protagonist suffers schizophrenia. He went mad because of War.

The only way for Oskar to be happy is to escape from the real world. He lives in a fictitious world that he has created.

Primera Experiencia.

Golpes en la cabeza. Mano extendida sobre el centro de la misma mientras se ejecutan golpecitos que recorren la zona lumbar del cuerpo.

Masajes en la espalda de calor con movimientos rápidos intercalados (arriba y abajo) que se aplican desde la cabeza. Manos extendidas y mucho aceite.

Masaje en la cabeza de Shampoo que se aplica como tal.

Golpes con los dedos en la espalda, en la zona izquierda y luego en la zona derecha de la espalda. Los dedos caen como flaglelo en orden menique y subsiguientes. Movimiento rápido y enérgico.

Estiramiento de brazos y piernas, delicadeza y control de las articulaciones del paciente. Mano izquierda en hombro izquierdo y mano derecha en sien izquierda y apartar el uno del otro.

Pasar pulgar delicadamente por donde comienza la mano para hacer fluir la sangre por las venas hacia la palma.

Notas: Cuidado con la cabeza. Comodidad del paciente de fundamental importancia.
Dialogo con el paciente. Conocer sus dolencias y accidentes pasados. Conocer zonas de tensión para aplicar en esa zona masaje en profundidad. Cuidado en la elección de la música y si es posible no utilizarla.

Personas con problemas de osteoporosis necesitan masaje de superfice, pero no de presión.

Nota Final: El cuerpo es muy delicado. Un masaje aplicado bruscamente puede acabar con dolores posteriores y una sensación poco placentera. La aplicación del masaje no es sencilla y requiere de cuidado, también de mucho cariño y delicadeza. Mucha energía positiva y conocimientos. Conversar con el cliente es muy importante.
