Lesson 5

2)The Paper compared to the Green Clothes.
The tips in the Green Clothes was tips on how to buy stocks on the Paper.
Having dry lips refers to the anticipation of whether the person "won" or "lost".
All was lost when the stocks crashed in the Paper, so all was in vain
3) The Lottery compared to the One-Dollar Gamble
Ah Boh has one dollar to bet. The blind man is Ah Boh's mother.13 is the most unlucky number.The number is found in gruesome car accidents in which Ah Boh would visit in order to obtain numbers to gamble on. Eventually, Ah Boh will have no more money to gamble with since her employer is now dead.
