Hungry Ghost by Hwee Hwee Tan

Question no.1
What was the narrator searching for?
The narrator is searching for the life after death. He wants to know the life after he died and what agony he will receive.

Question no.2
In your perceptions, why does the grandfather “…wanted me to relieve him…”?
In my perceptions, the grandfather wanted the narrator to relieve him because he doesn’t want to go to the hell. His grandfather knows that the agony in the hell is horrible and he doesn’t want to face or go through all the punishment.

Question no.3
What do ‘offering food’, ‘hugging grave’, and ‘burning money’ symbolize?
‘Offering food ‘symbolize that the narrator believe that his grandfather is still alive and he want to feed his grandfather with delicious food.
‘Hugging grave’ symbolize as the narrator love and respect towards his grandfather.
Then, the last one is ‘burning money’. It symbolizes as to give money to his grandfather to buy new clothes, a car and a condominium in the hell.

The Interview by Gopal Baratham..

Question no. 1
According to Mason, ‘Deprivation is largely an attitude of mind’. Discuss this quote by Mason and describe what deprives you.
From my opinion, deprivation is largely an attitude of mind means someone without or not having the normal benefits of adequate food, housing, health care and etc. If someone takes something away from somebody, so it prevents somebody from enjoying their life. The same thing happened to Mason when his food, clothes, freedom and etc was taken away from him.

I think I am the lucky person because there is not too much deprives me. But for example, when I’m in my collage, I’m missing a little bit of my freedom because I need to follow the rules that have stated.

Question no.2
What ‘necessary’ for Mason’s life at that time and what is necessary for you to have in life?
The ‘necessary’ for Mason’s life at that time are he assume a certain amount of food and drink, a way of dress, a way of life and etc where we called it as lifestyle nowadays.

The necessary for me to have in life is like other person necessary too such as food, clothes, housing, health care, freedom, and etc. we need freedom because it is important nowadays. When we live in democratic country like Malaysia, we have our freedom in term of clothing, speak out and etc. So that, we can built a peaceful country and Malaysia can stand in the eyes of the world. Then, the basic necessary like food, housing and cloth are important too because to make sure that we can live in a better way.
