Analyzing Jessica's Suicide

It’s easy to feel worthless. Almost every person feels this deep emotion at some time in life, but people handle it different. Everywhere people are always judging. Judgement from parents, from family, and even from friends is inescapable. People can tear themselves down in many ways, such as through school, not feeling they look good enough, and even just not feeling like they’re ever good enough to be living on Earth. In Janice Mirikitani’s poem “Suicide Note,” it talks about an Asian-American student currently in college. She tries her hardest, she wants to succeed and make her parents proud.

Although she gives her best effort, her grade point average is still less than a 4.0, and for that reason her parents are not proud of her, she’s not their perfect, ideal daughter. So she enters that point where she no longer feels proud of her accomplishments, she feels worthless, and unintelligent. She decides to commit suicide by jumping out of a window in her college dorm. In her suicide note she apologizes to her parents for not being good enough. “Suicide Note” is a free form poem, it has no set stanzaic pattern, the sentences break in unexpected places, and the structure varies throughout the poem. It uses imagery to connect with the reader, and the stanzas are set up in way that make the lines to appear as they are falling. Through the use of enjambment, and end-stopped line the

She began to feel disheartened; when she says her ‘heart sank further and further’. This tells us that she was feeling disappointed and felt that she should give up but by telling herself that one day life would ‘feel life was approximately a hundred times better’ it kept her going because she thought it would be over at some point and her life would then improve.

Janice Mirikitani’s words in this poem is depressing and her message is blunt.

The question that was aroused by everyone all over the world was, did the parents of Daniel James do the right thing in assisting him to die? First, a utilitarian’s thoughts are to maximize the happiness or leaser or preference of the individual. Part of the problem with utilitarian ethics is that they cannot be sure of the consequences.
