Temple Grandin The theme of death is a recurring idea in the movie Temple Grandin, as she witnesses and experiences many deaths throughout the story. In the beginning when she is attending Mountain Country School, she comes across a horse named Chestnut. She immediately took a liking to him even though at first he came off very aggressive and was thought of as dangerous by staff. Temple was able to calm him down so that she could get very close and even pet him. Shortly after meeting Chestnut, he unexpectedly passes away and leaves Temple with many confusing questions. After that, a dear professor to her, professor Carlock, passes away suddenly. He was one of the only teachers that took a chance on Temple and pushed her to excel in school. …show more content…
With the first death of Chestnut, Temple thought of his passing as very literal and in a scientific sense. She couldn’t understand where he went and and why he was no longer there; she was more perplexed by the event than she was sad. Professor Carlock suggested that she no longer think about it and just try to remember Chestnut as he was when he was living instead. With the death of Mr. Carlock, she was very surprised because she had just seen him a few days before his passing and didn’t know that he was sick.

It’s hard when you’re experiencing grief not to think that their passing isn’t fair and that they still had so much more life to live. It’s difficult to comprehend that you will never be able to see, or touch, or talk to ever again. I see why Temple was thinking in such a literal way because when you get down to it, it's complicated to comprehend how someone can be breathing and alive one second and the next they are gone forever. There have been studies and tests done that show when someone dies, they instantly become slightly lighter and weigh less. Some say that’s when the soul leaves the body and scientists have tried to calculate the exact weight of the soul. But the question is, where do we go when our souls are no longer embedded in our bodies? Do we inhabit new bodies? Do we stay spirits forever and never have a chance at life again? I think the reason the idea of death is so interesting and puzzling is because we will never truly know what actually happens to living things when they
Focusing on her future freedoms she was interrupted at the door by her husband. There had been a mix up and Mr. Mallard was nowhere near the train accident. Mrs. Mallard’s heart condition could not take the weight of change and she passed away.
There are several theories about what happens after we perish. Many thoughts can be made about where we go or who and even what we turn into but there are so many possibilities on what actually happens. Coming up with one specific theory is not easy, but I have come to the conclusion that my belief is after we die, we come back as something else. Reincarnation is a debatable topic on rather you believe the rules behind it or not. My theory is that we come back as perhaps another person in a completely different body with no memory of what happened in your past. Several ideas have been made such as how we all have birthmarks that can conclude how we die in our past life. If you have a birthmark on your back then that could be how you died. Some similarities between my beliefs and Greeks beliefs is the journey that contradicts
One thing is absolutely in life, death. No matter what goes on in life, one will eventually take their last breath and die. After a person dies many, religions discuss what happens to the soul, but what about the body? The question becomes what happens to the body after it decomposes? Science and research have advanced into the 21st century and made it possible to figure out step by step what happens to the body.

Cunningham’s belief on how the story ended varies from many other critic’s opinions. He points out how a great amount of readers believe the death of Mrs. Mallard was caused by her seeing Mr. Mallard walk through the door of their house, after receiving the news of his death in a train accident (par. 1). However, Cunningham states he does not believe Louise Mallard even saw Brently Mallard at all, and the cause of death was not from the shock of seeing him.
