well... I don't know why Andersen wrote this story... for kids...
or, is it not for kids, I don't know...
anyway, I've always thought this story is bloody sad, bloody... sad...
very sad...
so gloomy, and so sad... so discouraging...
simple story, but sad...
who wants to see a pathetic little girl, yet, selling matches, alone,
in the winter, nobody with her, no family, only a grandma, who's already gone to heaven...
and in the end, guess what?
even if I were to tell the story, I'll still cry,
tell 5 times, cry 5 times, tell 100 times, cry 100 times...
why Andersen had to write such a sad story...
and at the end?
the little girl died...
the funny thing is,
I've read this story since I was so young... and when I mentioned to him, ooi? he's not heard of this story...
ya, maybe that's the difference between boys and girls, growing up...
however, when I was watching the narrated animation with baby just now...
I was trying to see, if there's any "positiveness" in the story...
though, I still think, it's a damn sad story, even when baby asked me what the story is about, when I gotta kinda explain a little bit to her, I still wanted to cry, especially when the little match girl, dreamt of her grandma in heaven... -_- sad!
watching that animation,
one question popped up...
though, living is always THE way it should be...
but then, is dying a relief??
the little match girl,
in the winter,
in the christmas season,
has no family,
her beloved grandma has already passed away,
she's nothing, except a basket of matches which she's supposed to be selling to earn a little bit of living,
she's no food,
she feels cold,
probably nobody even knows she existed...
next day, people found her dead body...
well... sad isn't it?
sad for us, sad for us human...
but maybe not for her, at least, she joined her grandma in the heaven...
no more suffering, no more cold, no more hunger...
the little match girl...
cry no more,
hungry no more,
cold no more...
the little match girl...
(sob sob!)
