Paper by Catherine Lim (Little ironies)

Personally, i like this story very much . The irony of this story is that paper can be very strong but in 3 seconds , it can be burnt into nothing . As the title suggests.This applies for both the paper stocks and Tay Soon's paper house .In this story , its is signifant to gambling as it represents that you can lose everything in the matter of 3 seconds .Its also has relevance to the conclusion of the story as Tay Soon's dream was steadily progressing when it was all shattered by the stock markets ,in a short time .I find this story very sad as in ends on a ominous note where Tay Soon dies.
It can be very realtable to real life as money , status and power can be lostin a blink of an eye.
