Assertion

Assertion—response to Robby’s response of Saying Thanks to My Ghosts by Amy Tan

I do not believe ghosts or talking to them at all. I am not saying that Amy Tan didn’t feel about her grandmother but I do not believe she talked to her or her father or brother. I believe that anything she may have felt or thought she was feeling is all in her head. I think that it’s a way to coup with what happened and a way to her family. I do not believe, that if you don’t thank your ghosts, that you’re denying who you are. If you are always dwelling on your “ghosts” then you are always living in the past and thinking about what happened or them all the time, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t be sorry that they are gone but everyone needs to move on and stop dwelling on the ghosts of your family. You need accept what happened and get on with your life, for Amy Tan she needs to accept that there is nothing she could she could have done to save her brother or father and she wasn’t even alive when her grandmother died, not that she should completely forget them, but I don’t think it is a good thing to be thinking about it all the time.
