In relation to Paper, the title refers to the protagonist's, Tay Soon, grave. It is significant of gambling, as it tells of how addictive it is. At first, Tay Soon and Yee Lian have a dream house. When they turned to stock marketing, they earned alot of money their hopes of getting their dream house is raised. However, they started losing money but they still continued to gamble. In the end, the family went bankrupt and Tay Soon died. His mother arranged for a paper coffin to keep him, the model exactly as he described the dream house.
I feel that Paul is responsible for his own death. he pressed himself too hard for money. He did not even stop when Bassett and his uncle told him to stop. He kept on rocking to try to get a answer of which horse is winning. In the end while trying to find the winning horse, he rocked himself to death thus I feel that it is his fault.
i agree with you on regards to this matter . But i am rather confused as your phrasing was strange?
