My First Post And "PAPER"

Hello 1A4 and other bloggers! Welcome to my blog. Please advise me as I am new to blogging. If you have any comments or queries, feel free to tag on my Cbox! I love shooping and reading.I like fantasy books. My favourite book is "The Chronicles Of Narnia" written by C.S. Lewis. I'm not very good in art, but I'll try my best. Now, I'll be blogging about the literature book, "Little Ironies~Stories Of Singapore" by Catherine Lee. I will be blogging on the short story, "Paper". It is about a family dreaming about their dream house. They have not been earning much, so they invested in stocks. At first, they earned a lot of money and their dream was about to be fulfilled. Unfortunately, they had put such a big stake on a stock that when it fell, most of their money was gone. The moral of the story is: Luck is always not on your side. Also, it is fine to take risks, but not such a big gamble. In the end, one of the protagonists passed away and his mother hired someone to make a paper house for his funeral, exactly the way he described his dream house. The paper house was then placed on his grave, burning brilliantly, and in 3 minutes was a heap of ashes on the grave. The author, Catherine Lee, has written this story remarkably and I enjoyed it tremendously. If you have any comments, please leave me a tag. Thank you!!
