Analysis of Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (2/10)
(Continued from 1/10)
But, the most important
thing in this fable
is that he also
could see many other ghosts
gathering and standing
behind those mourning people.
He also could recognize
many of those ghosts
as they were familiar to him.
Though he could see
those ghosts,
but could not hear
what they used to
whisper among themselves.
He never told this story
to his mother
(his father died when
he was a little child,
so he does not have any
memory of his father),
his younger sister
(whom he used to love the most),
his classmates,
or, any neighbors.
(Pure fiction.
Any similarity should be treated as mere coincidence.)
