  6. Ah Soh is old, and her face is full with wrinkles, and she has a sallow and pallid appearance, she looks evil but also very pitiful.
    She wears tattered clothes that people throw away and the clothes she wear is also musty and yellow. She wears no shoes and walk around bare footed showing her wrinkled and dirty toes.
    She hunched when she walks and walks as slow as a snail.
    She speaks with a weird accent and looks down on the floor when she speaks. She is stubborn and gullible and she believes everything she hears or sees.
    I feel that she does not like living and working for Mrs. Khoo. And she also does not like to have a relative like the obnoxious Mrs. Khoo and her daughter.

  18. 1] Ah soh will look like a frail old woman who is lacking of nutrition. Her face will look wrinkled and haggard
    2] Ah soh will be wearing some traditional costumes which were made during the olden times. The costume could probably be some kind of gift she received from her friends or some relatives that she treasures it so much until now.
    3] She probably could still move around but maybe in a slow pace and sometimes maybe have difficulty in walking faster or even to run as she is aging and her joints and muscles are not so strong as before
    4] As she is an old folk, her mostly used languages may be a dialect (e.g. hokkien Cantonese). More ever in the olden times she may be too poor to afford a higher standard of education so her standard of language like English may not be that good…
    5] Ah Soh may feel very sad and maybe even lonely as nowadays children seldom visit their parents as they think work is ever more important than parents. Ah Soh will feel very down hearted as she was the one who brought up her children and given them sufficient education so that they could get better jobs with higher salary…

  36. 1.
    Ah Soh has a tanned complexion. There were raw pink patches on her wrinkled face, as if rats had bitten her. Her hands were rough from washing dishes and clothes. The skin on her legs were hanging lazily from her body. Her back was hunched, her small frame could not carry her around.
    2.
    She usually wears a T-shirt which was given by her relatives. She wears an old "samsui woman" hat, folded beautifully to form the one-of-a kind hat.Her shorts were too long, she had tried to alter it herself, but had left signs of fraying.
    3.
    She moves as slow as a sloth, her back hunched forward. Her hands moves but faster than her legs, as she had forty years of experience, washing dishes.
    4.
    She speaks slowly, struggling to form words. Her education was limited, as a result, weak english. She knows how to speak cantonese, which was taught by her mother.

    5.
    Ah Soh feels a sense of sympathy for herself. Her relatives treat her as a maid, and her daughter as a useless girl. She also feels committed to her life as she does not give up on her life, even though Mrs Khoo had tortured her for forty years.
    Thank You.
