WEEK 10

The ‘Tragedy of My Third Eye’ written by Suchen Christine Lim is the most difficult and hardest story regarding to my reading. To sum up the story is Ping, the six years old girl had suffered so much although she still young, immature and inexperienced to face any hardship. Her fate is not as lucky as the other children at the same age of her. At first, she lived with her grandmother happily but things turn out differently after she live with her mother. Besides, her mother tortured her like she is not her daughter and its more to the outsider. Her mother cannot stand to know that she live happily and comfortably with her grandmother till she took Ping to her home.

Further, Ping's mother is very cruel towards her. She treated Ping harshly by always scolding her without cares of Ping's feeling. Ping have to study at school and her teacher always call her 'stupido' because she is not able to be an excellent student in their school. Ping gain trouble not only at home but at school, she have to face a very bias teacher and an arrogant student that is Linda. Inspite of she had been bullied by Linda and humiliated by Linda's father when he spit towards her, the other problem come one by one. Then, the action that had taken by Linda's father is totally unacceptable because as a grown-up man,he supposedly act like an adult that think first before take action. Also same thing with her mother that never behave as a mother and doing her responsibility to her daughter.

In fact of she is a daughter of prostitute, she get a bad luck for the rest of her life. In my point of view, it is unfair after all the predicament, she had accepted a lot of problem at a very young age and still happen again and again. Hence, third eye is a mirror that reflect another prospective of our life. What we saw with our own eyes, cannot be described using words. Sometimes, words don't have power to tell the pain inside the chest. Everyone has the third eyes to keep the secret or memories that we had gone through from the past.
