Cole Circle Of Life Analysis

It is inevitable that we will all die it is a fact that everyone must come to terms with. There comes a time in everyone’s life that they must face death; a friend’s tragic accident, a family member’s passing or their own battles with diseases. When faced with the idea of death people will act in different ways some may find it therapeutic to apologize for the negative they have done, some may want to spend time with loved ones to ease the future pain, and others may decide that their life was not what they believed. The story Death Constant Beyond Love tells us about a man named Senator Sanchez who is living a happy life with his wife and five kids.

When will you die? How do you want to be remembered? Will you be remembered by your laughter and smiles, or will you only be remembered by the hate and hurt in your heart? Most people do not know they are going to die on a specific day, but they can still choose how they want to be remembered. The people around you can influence the way you are seen whether it be in a positive or negative way. Ernest Gaines established this idea in A Lesson Before Dying with his dynamic characters. Most of the characters learn a lesson and make a change in their lives for the better. Although some may argue that the lesson that is being taught and learned before dying refers only to Jefferson, a careful analysis shows that the whole community gains a

Death is a topic that unites all of humanity. While it can be uncomfortable to think about, confronting death in unavoidable. “Dying” addresses that discomfort and universal unwillingness to consider the inevitability of death. Pinsky’s use of imagery, symbolism, and tone create a poetic experience that is like death, something every reader can relate to. In “Dying,” Pinsky describes how people are oblivious and almost uncaring when it comes to the thought of death. Pinsky is trying to convince the reader that they shouldn’t ignore the concept of death because life is shorter than it seems.

Death perception is what sets apart the wise from the foolish and the sensitive from the weak minded; this statement is both true within life and the epic poem Beowulf. Many statements within the spectrum of death in the current world relates and dates back to this one poem, even more so now through the translation of Seamus Heaney. Passed along as a folk tale from as early as the 5th century to the 9th century, and then composed in about the 10th century, Beowulf creates a solid base for many of today’s present and worldly ideals. Countless themes are taken from this poem, but one theme that many people may glaze over is the extremely morbid tone of death and its purpose. Used as an archetype for the audience, the purpose of this morbid theme of death is to help understand and cope with mortality, especially during that time period. Accepting/ understanding is wiser than foolishly attempting to escape or cheat death as the poem blatantly proves after closely analyzing its purpose of discussing fate and death before the battles; choosing to always stand by good morals and actions; and the major significance of the main character’s death along with a couple counterarguments. By examining each aspect, the reader will gain the realization as to why Seamus Heaney decided to create this theme that he did with the direction from “The Beowulf poet [that] was captivated by the imagery of death” (Tanke 356).

Dying slowly as a worthless person or even a “hog” for something that never happened, can cause others to make more of this death. The poem, “If We Must Die” and the movie A Lesson Before Dying are very similar and point out how unfair it is to die in such a horrid way. In the movie, a man was wrongfully accused of murder and he was sentenced to death, however citizens work together to make him a “man” before death. The poem simply shows that some people really want to die with meaning. The main similarities in both these stories deal with how death should be done or even how a person should be considered before death.

Everybody processes the ideas of death and dying differently. On pp.42-44, Christopher discusses his rabbit’s death, his mother’s death, and the idea of dying.

The narrator questions at the end of the poem “how could Arthur go?” (50). Even though she is confused by death, she is still afraid of it. Bishop’s poem is unique in a sense that it is written through the point of view of a small child. Furthermore, the child is experiencing a life changing and painful concept for the first time. The child’s innocence is shown by her response to death. By finding distractions through comparisons, word choices, and even a stuffed loon in response to the inability to comprehend the painful concept of death is the theme Bishop was trying to portray. She also touches on the idea that trying to comprehend the finality of death, takes a toll on some

No goal was ever met without hardwork - Unknown In his novel , Touching Spirit Bear, Ben Mikaelsen shows how a significant event can change someone's life and make them appreciate the little beauties in life.

Life has many lessons in store for us. Often times, one of the most terrifying and traumatic lessons a child can learn really has nothing to do with life--but rather, death. Unfortunately, it is a lesson that we all must encounter at some point. No matter the age or circumstance, it is hard to understand how something so dark and mystical can impact our lives so much. It is even harder to cope with the loss of a loved one and to come to terms with knowledge that each day we live, we become one closer to dying.

In addition, Cicirelli said, “The meanings of death and life are interdependent. Life gains its meaning from the fact of death. How, when, where, and why one anticipates dying influences the meaning of the life that one has. Such a view implies changing individuals over time, and consequently a life-span perspective on development of personal death meanings and related death fears. One would expect the individual to develop different personal meanings and death fears over the course of life from early childhood to adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and old age”( Cicirelli 715). When I was seven years old, I fear of death because the dead body and the coffin. There are a lot of Chinese horror movie talk about dead people who become zombies, then at night, they will come out of

People have many different perspectives on death, however, the majority of people fear death as a result of not knowing what’s to come after or the notion that death is evil. Lucretius argues against this belief with compelling and reasonable points. He states that one should not be afraid or sad that they are going to die, but rather not think about it at all. In his banquet argument, he states that one should not spend his life thinking about death in sorrow, but rather not think about it at all and live in the moment. By doing this, you will erase all the negative thoughts and allow yourself to enjoy what life has to offer; “Now put aside all thoughts that are unseemingly for your grey head…..leave with your heart light.”(M&TS,101).

He exemplifies the ideal way to trudge through painful moments, understanding that it may be difficult to live life without self-pity but also doable. One of the other hardest parts of death and facing it is the fear of relationships ending. Once we die, we lose our connections with people because we aren’t physically able to maintain them, but “death ends a life, not a relationship” (Albom 174). The worst feeling possible is knowing that you’ve lost a relationship. It’s even worse when you know that there’s no way it can be repaired.

Also as a symbol for retribution in the poem is the appearance of Life in Death. In Christianity, in order to experience everlasting life in heaven, humans must succumb to death first. Coleridge uses supernatural events to show real life situations in his poem. The real life situation of life in death in Christianity is symbolized as a

Many people have both feared and questioned death throughout the ages but when it’s time to die, two kinds of people emerge: those who accept it and wait to die, and those who keep fighting. Dylan Thomas describe the importance of continuing to fight in his poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, which he wrote for his dying father. Firstly, there is lots of symbolism in the poem, which helps to develop the theme of never giving up. Secondly, the author uses many literary devices, which help to develop the main theme of the text, which is to never stop fighting. Lastly, there is lots of imagery used to help develop the theme of persevering until the end even more. Death is all around us but it is important to persevere and keep fighting
