Baby reanalysis

Function of Character

In relation to DV, I have never experienced life before so I appreciate and want it so badly because I have lost it due to circumstance. Towards logical answers, I ask questions. Towards questions people try to logically solve, I give the most simplest answer. And I guess the simplest answers are the correct ones. My logic goes in line with fairytales, not with books. I have no chance to regret because I have not lived.

Why I am in purgatory - because of people like gwak who scares me about the world
Why I want to live - I want to see colours, feel the warmth of the sun, smell the flowers of spring and the morning dew on grass. I want to feel the breeze through my hair. I want to play with snowman and see all the beautiful things of the earth.
Revelation- Mug talks to me about life. That even though it can be sour, it is only with a mixture of tastes that makes it delicious and worth living for. So my fear of the bad things of living is gone and I even look forward to sour moments combined with the sweet things of life.

My take on each character

Sarah - She always seems uptight, like she's so close to looking for something but cannot grasp it. She has lots of books but none of them have pictures. I wonder what they are about. I think she can be my teacher since she has the most books from earth - which usually means she treasures them. Thus, i conclude that she must know and love knowledge. Which probably means she is the most knowledgeable.

Mui Choo - She is my mum. I seek her for motherly love because I have never experienced it before. She takes care of me and answers my questions. I wonder why she did not let her baby live. There are probably a lot of babies who don't get to live, like me. I think Mui Choo will know why. she said she was really scared to the point where she forgot to love. I cannot understand but maybe i will soon.

Death - He took me to where I am now. He is quite kind, he comforts me and tries to tell me why things happen. He is quite scary too. He just sits there and waits for us to make a decision on where to go so he can bring us.

Mug- He gets into nervous fits/ fits in general. Even though I do not know why he is like that, I know he is feeling bad and frustrated inside. So I comfort him sometimes. Although I feel that he is weird compared to the rest, he actually made me realise that life is nice not because it is sweet but because it has a mixture of flavours that makes it so rich.

Gwak - She is one scary person. She shouts half the time and scares me. I don't really believe her when she says that the world has no love, and is not worth living for. But there must be some truth to what she says, or else, why would she and EVERYBODY not want to live?
