Journal Entry 4 (Hungry Ghost)

The narrator is searching for the happiness and the peacefulness. In my perception, the grandfather wanted the narrator to relieve him because he felt there are no happiness and the peacefulness in the next world after he died. He cannot enjoy his life like what he has enjoyed in the real world. He wanted the narrator to relieve him from the agony of hell which hurt him so much and also to relieve him from the difficulties in there. The offering food, ‘hugging grave’ and burning money symbolize helps from people in the real world to him who stay in the next world. Offering him food symbolize that the person is provide him with some food for him to use in there, the hugging grave is to show that their family show their love to him even though he is not there together and burning the money for him to spend in his vacation.

Last letter to my parents,

Mum and dad, first of all I would like to say sorry on what have I done since I was a baby until now at the end of my life. You have done the best for me just to make sure that I grew up perfectly and become a person who always hurt you. I have promise to a good daughter to you and become a very useful person one day but, I am so sorry for the difficulties that I faced which I can’t make our dreams come true. I love you so much. Remember me until the end of your life.

From,
Your daughter,
A girl to remember..
