The little man cont.

I know this isn't really the little man but the ghost that Lisa saw at Mrs. Jenkins office. I wonder what Eden Robinson is trying to demonstrate with this occurrence. When the ghost starts talking and touching Lisa she has an out of body experience, like she isn't the one speaking the words, the ghost is. The ghost tells Mrs. Jenkins whatever she wants to hear, nothing more or nothing less. The ghost is like a sub-conscious guardian angel, he helps Lisa so she won't have to many appointments, by saying the right things.
