David Eagleman’s Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives delivers an assortment of theories about what the human being might experience after passing away. The book ranges from terrifying, pessimistic likelihoods to uplifting and humorous perspectives presented in less than 4 pages each. The variety of possibilities about life after death presented prompts fear or optimism.

Lucretius, translated by John Dryden, appeals to me on a higher level in it’s telling of an after life than Twain and Plato’s. Robert Hertz once claimed “each society constructs in its own image” an afterlife for it’s peoples souls to dwell in. The way in which I was raised and the societies I grew up around influenced me to understand the truths about death. It is trivial to spend time thinking of what waits for a human being after death because there is no way of knowing for sure. Lucretius wrote,“Death to us and death’s anxiety is less that nothing, if less cou’d be.” Lucretius points out that death is the one immovable truth in life; constantly worrying about death and prophesying what it will bring takes away from the life you are now currently living. In Twain’s piece, Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven, a man chases comets for thirty years after death and when he finally does reach heaven, he discovers it is vast and more complex beyond measure. Twain uses his story to speak out against the incongruities of popular christian beliefs during his time. How can the living know what the dead are

Abstract The author’s perception and treatment of Everyman are that each individual need to prepare for it by repenting, following God, and doing good works. The author’s perception is that at the end of the day one cannot take anything or anyone with them when they die. The only entity someone can take is their actions and how they use the resources that are given to them. Those who put God before everything and perform good works will enjoy eternity with Him, but those who enjoy only the pleasures of life and forget God, will not. The author’s main message throughout the play is to not fearful of death but know that one day everyone will die, so do as much good as one can, repent of one’s sins, and to put God first. Keywords: author, perception, treatment, death The Author’s Perception and Treatment of Death in Everyman In the late fifteenth century, an unknown author wrote a morality play called Everyman. According to Pearson, a morality play during the Medieval period would communicate a moral lesson and make it so simple that both illiterate and well-educated audiences could both understand the lesson (Adu-Gyamfi, 2016). One may believe that the author of Everyman want to communicate to the audience that everyone will receive judgment the actions they commit on Earth. The author’s perception of death is that God is the only one who has the power to control when each individual die, so if one has a relationship with Him one should not be fearful death. The author

Death is something that people must deal with every day in our world, and there are several aspects of death that sometimes the living do not consider. For example, how does one celebrate or remember passed loved ones? What happens to you when you die? How would you like to be remembered? There are multiple ways to answer these questions, and examining differing points of view can be enlightening.

Throughout his life, Eddie is racked with guilt due to the unknown shadow figure he saw in the burning building, whilst trying to escape the prisoner of war camp. When faced by Tala in heaven, he is confronted with the conformation of her death “You burn me. You make me fire.” (199). Once aware of the consequences of his actions, Eddie immediately asks Tala for her forgiveness, “I killed you, I KILLED YOU…forgive me” (201). I am able to relate to this through my own experiences of asking for forgiveness from other people. Eddie was faced with the need for forgiveness due to him causing the death of a young girl; my lesser experience of this comes through my behaviour of bullying other people throughout my primary school education. Through understanding the impacts this may have had on other people and the remorse felt due to my actions, I was able to apologise and ask for their forgiveness. Through the forgiveness of Tala and telling Eddie “You make good for me”(204), he is able to begin to also forgive himself for his behaviour, which ultimately lead to the death of the young girl. I connect to this through others’ forgiveness of me for my behaviour and therefore allowing me to move on from my mistakes and

There are four main lessons that Eddie comes to learn throughout this story are: connection, sacrifice, forgiveness, and love. Eddie also learned that his life was dedicated to children and the ability to keep them safe. We are all somehow

Emily Dickinson is one of the most important American poets of the 1800s. Dickinson, who was known to be quite the recluse, lived and died in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, spending the majority of her days alone in her room writing poetry. What few friends she did have would testify that Dickinson was a rather introverted and melancholy person, which shows in a number of her poems where regular themes include death and mortality. One such poem that exemplifies her “dark side” is, “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”. In this piece, Dickinson tells the story of a soul’s transition into the afterlife showing that time and death have outright power over our lives and can make what was once significant become meaningless.
