Death In Looking For Alaska

The central theme of this story is that the stage between life and death is

Poems are like snowflakes. While no two are the same, they all have common structures and themes. One prevalent theme in poetry is that of death, which is present in both “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. Dickinson perceives death as a gentleman, while Frost perceives death as loneliness, which provides insight on how the time periods of the poems, the genders of the authors, and the authors’ personal experiences influence literature.

Everyone feels burdened by life at some point. Everyone wishes they could just close their eyes and make all the problems and struggles of life disappear. Some see death as a release from the chains and ropes with which the trials and tribulations of life bind the human race. Death is a powerful theme in literature, symbolized in a plethora of ways. In "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Eve" Robert Frost uses subtle imagery, symbolism, rhythm and rhyme to invoke the yearning for death that the weary traveler of life feels.

In these three literary pieces a prevalent theme is death. Death may be defined as the end-ing period of physical life. However, throughout the development of these stories, it was possible to distinguish plenty of physical but even non-physical death as well. This absolutely

This book also has a unique theme. In my perspective, the theme is without memories, one can turn into the living dead. The book gives a lot of importance to memories and how they play a big role in our lives and Anderson was successful in getting the theme to the

The power of the poet is not only to convey an everyday scene into a literary portrait of words, but also to interweave this scene into an underlying theme. The only tool the poet has to wield is the word. Through a careful placement and selection of words, the poet can hopefully make his point clear, but not blatantly obvious. Common themes of poems are life, death, or the conflicting forces thereto. This theme could never possibly be overused because of the endless and limitless ways of portraying life or death through the use of different words.

Death has big meanings in human life. “The experience of death is mysterious because death is experienced once and gone with the dead person” (ÖNCÜ, 263). If someone dies, people around the dead person fall in specific emotional states such as sorrow, happiness, and shock. It depends on who the dead person was for the people. Death is used as a turning point in a story because it changes people’s lives.

In the book “looking for Alaska” by John Green it takes about a Miles a 11th grade student who moves to a new boarding school to find his great perhaps that he could not find in his old school. Miles was introduced to the reader as a not very social person that just moves to this new school that he had no one that he knows. The character Miles was known as a lovable person by everyone he meets, remembering people last words was one of his favorite thinks, and he has his own thought about what happens after death. First off, Miles was a lovable person by a lot of people that he meets. For example ‘’having a boyfriend who lives far away when there’s a good-looking lying next to me’’.

The theme death has always played a crucial role in literature. Death surrounds us and our everyday life, something that we must adapt and accept. Whether its on television or newpaper, you'll probobly hear about the death of an individual or even a group. Most people have their own ideas and attitude towards it, but many consider this to be a tragic event due to many reasons. For those who suffered greatly from despair, living their life miserably and hopelessly, it could actually be a relief to them. Death effects not only you, but also those around you, while some people may stay unaffected depending on how they perceive it.

She was having an aneurysm and Alaska being only eight years old did not know what to do and neglected to call 911 to help her mother.

An intense situation happens when Pudge and Alaska make out after they both had too much to drink, even though she has a boyfriend and he has a girlfriend.

the theme of death. The speaker of the poems talks about the loss of a

One of the prevalent themes of Emily’s work is death. Since she wrote about her inner world and troubles, death as a theme could not be avoided. Emily Dickinson had to face the losing friends to death. Several deaths of family members, including her mother, father and a nephew helped contribute to the theme in her poetry. These events affected her health but she found a way to cope with the idea of death with her poetry. She developed an attitude towards death, seeing it as a transition from mortality to immortality. She accepted its inevitability and tried to make peace with the idea itself. This kind of comprehension was something Emily needed in order to cope with the loss of her loved ones who had been her only support and company in her isolated lifestyle. The theme of death is shown in the poem I picked for the research paper. In the poem called “How Far Is It To Heaven”, by Emily Dickinson it again deals with death but heaven and hell is included. This poem has only a few lines but it gets straight to the point and the theme of the poem hits you right in the face. One example is clear from the first two lines where it asks “How Far Is It To Heaven?” (Line 1) and “As far as Death this way” (Line 2). The poem is so simple but portrays a powerful message to the reader. Another huge theme of

"Do you even remember the person she actually was? Do you remember how she could be a selfish bitch? That was part of her, and you used to know it. It's like now you only care about the Alaska you made up." (Pg. 165 John Green)

I think there are two major ideas behind this story. The first one is really obvious, especially in the end of the book: People shouldn’t ignore death as a topic. It helps to talk about it. It helps, if we have our own fantasy of what happens after someone passed away. But that Alaska would pass away was not obvious for the first half of the book, so for me personally I found another idea behind the story: You should make something out of your life. Live it at its’ fullest. Go and find “The Great Perhaps” that Miles Halters has been looking for, when he came to boarding school.
