I chose the story “Ghosts” by Edwidge Danticat because the title attracted me more than the other story and also, I was interested to read something that came from Haiti, of which culture I know nothing.
The story is about a young man called Pascal, who lives in Bel Air, a poor neighbourhood run by gangs in Haiti. Pascal’s parents own a small restaurant whose main customers are local gang members and Pascal, who helps at the restaurant but also has a job in one of Haiti’s main radio stations. The leader of the gang commits a crime and claimed that Pascal is the mastermind of the operation. In fact, Pascal wanted to present a radio show called “Ghosts”, focused on the street life by showing what it's like for them. I liked the story because
