NOTES
[ 1] "When I started writing Ghost [...] we thought we had a ghost in the house, who lived in the bathroom. So I locked the door and begins to sing to the ghost in the bathroom. Over time, all became a little 'how to sing ghost that we thought the same whistling in the next room, and he kept waking up, and as a result of a ghost that could live inside of me . And then it ended up being a reference to Anne Frank. " (McGonigal, 1998, p. 21)
[2] clear reference to Anne Frank, born in 1929 in fact.
[3] These verses seem to fulfill this wish Anna repeatedly expressed in his diary, that is not to be lived in vain and leave a trace species in the immortal world ( Transience and Transcendence Max Heath).
[4] It is not clear to whom it refers here Mangum, but it is certainly clear parallels between Anna and this modern girl who died jumping from a skyscraper in flames (from Transience and Transcendence Max Heath).
