Summary Of Felix And Lubian

When I heard he was lifelessly hanging from a tree, I felt sorry for the man, but also felt a sense of relief. He was my worst enemy in life, and he was gone from everyone’s lives forever. I asked myself why do I feel very little grief? The answer was because there was no longer any weight on my shoulders, and I was now free to become my own

“Sonny’s fingers filled the air with life, his life. But that life contained so many others…..He made it his: that long line, of which we knew only Mama and Daddy. And he was giving it back, so that, passing through death, it can now live forever. I saw my Mother’s face again, and felt, for the first time, how the stones of the road she had walked on must have bruised her feet. I saw the moonlit road where my father’s brother died. And it brought something else back to me, and carried me past it. I saw my little girl again and felt Isabel’s (his wife) tears again, and felt my own tears begin to rise. And I was yet aware that this was only a moment, that the world waited outside, as hungry as a tiger, and that trouble stretched above us, longer than the sky.”(359)

Whereas the marlin’s death hints at a type of physical reanimation, death leads to life in less literal ways at other points in the novella. The book’s crucifixion imagery emphasizes the cyclical connection between life and death, as does Santiago’s battle with the marlin. His success at bringing the marlin in earns him the awed respect of

In “Lives of the Dead”, O’Brien’s own innocence is preserved through the memory of Linda, a memory that remains untarnished by the inevitable corruption that results from life. O’Brien’s writings “save Linda’s life. Not her body--her life” (236). Storytelling and memories preserve the value of Linda’s existence while simultaneously allowing O’Brien to process death and destruction in a way that maintains a degree of optimism regarding his own life and future. Juxtaposing the images of body and life emphasizes his desire to save the idea of Linda while accepting the loss of her physical presence. O’Brien rejects the idea of death as absolute and final; instead he suggests that “once you are alive, you can never be dead” (244). Linda’s death solidifies her importance in O’Brien’s own development; she teaches him about life and real love as much as in death as in life. O’Brien’s paradoxical statement defines the lasting impact of Linda on him; her presence in his stories keeps her alive through memory; memories that even her death

No one was supposed to perish that night. He did not wish to perform his job, but the decisions of those that expire shall always repeat. He was stuck. He moved through town, piercing through the foggy streets of town, heading as slowly as possible for the inevitable destination, just outside of town where he should wait. They would come to him, sooner or later. They always did.The calm closed around him, moving from those that chose their fate, hearing their echos seemingly drown away in the mist. He was not needed here, he would see them soon

His thoughts about life, however, showed how he really felt and how grief-stricken he really was, while offering up the idea that life is a short flash of light in the darkness that is eternity and

He didn't want to believe it, but it was almost as though a part of himself had died with all those nameless people who perished. Those men, women and even children whose names he ever heard or spoke. It was as if some of the semblance and sense in himself had just vanished, and it was certainly a strenuous mental effort to regain something like

Maybe you didn't realise what kind of effect you had on our lives, and neither did we, until you were gone. I can only hope that you're out there,

The text given is the extract of chapter one of the book “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. The extract is aimed to introduce the setting, making the atmosphere as well as to introduce the character. The book was inspired from the author real experience because the author was indeed is the main character in this book. The author wish to share his deathly experience to the world therefore the intended audience are all the people in the world.

We will always mourn for his unreasonable death, we will always wish he was here, but there is nothing we can do to bring him back. Although his death was a fiasco, it wasn’t all negative. At his funeral I remember the pastor saying “God makes absolutely no mistakes, and while we might be sad now everything happens for a reason, Dion loved to bring everyone together, so take his death as an opportunity to come together”. Dion’s death helped me realize that life is a movie but there will never be a sequel and you never know when your movie is ending. If you love somebody you have to let them know, tomorrow is not promised, so you have to let it show while they’re alive. Immediately after viewing Dion’s bleak, lifeless corpse my mother gave me the tightest hug that I’ve ever received, and told me how she loved me and when I returned home I did the same to my sisters. Now I try to remind people that I love them and how much they mean to me, even when were upset at each other. Every time I wake up I thank god for allowing my loved ones and myself to see another day. I also focus on what’s important such as my family, I try to cherish every single moment I have with them whether it’s marvelous or awful every single second is important to

The author’s diction makes the reader feel that death ca be defeated. For example, death has been called “mighty and dreadful” but the author shows that it is not more than a “short sleep” where men go for the “rest of their bones.” The general idea of death is frightful and scary, but the reader is told that it’s only a short phase everyone goes through. It’s an opportunity for men to separate their soul and physical body. In

One of my favorite parts about my granddad particularly was how he always had something inspiring to say to me every day to keep me going. Sometimes it feels like he’s still inspiring me today while in heaven. I believe I would be struggling more if I didn’t have him around when I was little. He was the only father that was there for me when needed most. I miss him all the time, but

Once, in the first week following his passing, I came through my front door and looked at the area where he would usually be sitting or lying. I called for him with the foolish notation that he would appear and come running to me. But of course, he did not. Then, I walked past his empty food bowls and tears started running down my face. It was a shattering reminder that he was gone and never coming back.
