Ghost

To me, a ghost is an invisible or sometimes visible object that makes me feel afraid. I think my definition of a ghost is a kind of same meaning which is used in The Scar. In this story, Lena's my mother was treated as a ghost. It meant that Lena would not be able to see her. Also it meant that whenever Lena sees her because her grandmother hate Lena's mother like crazy, she blamed Lena and also Lena's mother and it made Lena feel afraid because something always happened when she sees her mother. I think the word 'ghost' helped this character being a more complex image. If it did not mention about ghost, the readers would just feel pity on her because she can not see her daughter. But because 'ghost' came up in the story, the readers could feel that she is having a miserable life and understand how Lena feels about it. Also because of it, I think the readers could see Lena's mother is forgotten by force of Lena's grandmother just like we can not see the ghost.
