Death Note

     Over the last few days, I've been watching a show on Netflix, one that many of you may already know about, and it's name is Death Note. I think that this is a great show and will explain what it is about, possibly catching the interest of a few of you, and causing you to want to watch it.

       In 2006, an 18 year old high school boy, called Light Yagami, sees a notebook falling outside of the window next to him. Once he is free from school, he goes to the location of this notebook, and takes it home. He thoroughly inspects the book, believing that it is a prank by some kids, because the notebook states that, "The person's name who you write in this notebook, will die within 40 seconds. If the cause of death if not specified, they will simply die of heart attack." Thinking it is a prank, Light writes down the name of a criminal he sees on TV. After 40 seconds, Light finds that the man whose name he wrote down, just died.

Light is currently shocked, believing this is coincidence. He decides to go buy magazine( or so I think). While he is there, a girl is being basically kidnapped by a group of guys. Wanting confirmation, Light writes down the name of one of them, and after 40 seconds, that guy dies from being hit by a truck. Now Light realizes the note it real.

     Light decides to use this note, this Death Note, to rid the world of evil and criminals, creating a world free of evil, and only filled with kind people. After a few days of receiving his notebook, a weird creature, calling itself Ryuk, a god of death from the Shinigami realm, meets Light, and describes to him how that notebook got into his possession. Ryuk also describes some of the rules and qualities of the note.

    After about two weeks, police and the public begin to suspect that one person, or a few, are ridding the world of criminals. So Light, now known to the world as Kira, tries to avoid being discovered, as well as creating his perfect world.
