Old Ghosts reflection // 8:49 PM.

The story 'Old Ghosts' talks about the life of a seventy-six year old man, Jim Brennan. When he wakes up on the morning of his seventy-sixth birhtday, he is haunted by the menories of his past. He starts to see images of his childhood sweetheart, Ellen that are not really there. In his younger days, he made the mistake of giving in to tempation, and breaking Ellen's heart. Later on, Ellen passed away at the age of nineteen, due to illness. At twelve in the night, Jim crawls into bed and sees Ellen once again. This time, he is finally able to be reunited with his love for eternity.

I think that Jim was not thinking when he gave in to temptation that night. If he had thought twice, he would probably not have hurt Ellen so deeply. Because of that one mistake, he felt regret for the rest of his life. Even at seventy-six, he was still haunted by his mistake. Ellen had loved Jim innocently, only to have him abandon her for the one thing she did not give him. She had wanted to preserve herself until her marriage, but she was never able to get married.

This story tells us that we should all never make the same mistake that Jim did. We should all think about the consequences of our actions before we do something. In Jim's case, he did not think about the consequences of his actions. In the end, was haunted by the result of his mistake for the rest of his life. He also hurt his true love, and never got to apologise to her or even say a last goodbye before she passed away. Jim only realised that he was wrong after Ellen was dead, and it was too late to make up for his mistakes.
