A White Rose Analysis

[A White Rose]

A white rose:

Can we meet again? “Take care of yourself as usual!”

Son, who is a pilot of a light plane, also guides tourists to the beautiful scenery of this area. Many people visit this sparkling Snow Mountain around this time of every year. Father still worries his son even though he has flown the same place many times.

“Don’t worry, Dad. Nothing bad could happen. “, says the son smiling at his father and goes out of the house.

Numerous people gather to climb the beautifully shining Snow Mountain. But, some of them die or are missing. According to the guides of the town, some hikers are awed and stunned by the dazzling white snow, so they sometimes carelessly fall the sacrifice to the Snow Mountain. For this reason, a

Soon, the snow storm blows magically. Dreadful snow fully swirls around the Snow Mountain, and the light plane disappears out of the sight into the blizzard.

“Our plane is falling, all the passengers, please, …”

Not any sound, even the engine’s ruffling of the plane, can be heard. There is only the rumbling sound of the snowstorm as if time stops.

The blizzard gradually weakens and finally ceases like nothing happened at all. Snow Mountain sparkles as the same as before.

He carefully opens the box. There are a white rose and a letter. That is his son’s will.

It is the will written by his son before going his first flight according to the tradition of the village.

Dad,

This is me. :)

I can’t believe that I might die, it hasn’t sunk in yet.

I’m afraid of leaving you alone. I don’t want to die, though.

I wish to live a long life with you.

But, don’t be so sad even though I might fall a sacrifice to Snow Mountain.

Don’t cry too much when you miss me.

Dad,

Son asks his father. Can we meet again?
