The Bad News is there is no Good News Jerry came home from work later than usual that Friday night. He didn’t say hello when he found me in our bedroom, but thrust the glittery pink bag at my chest and waited with half of a grin. Underneath thin, white sheets of wrapping paper was a skimpy black and white bunny costume.

Throughout the book, Silas Marner goes down many of these avenues to create happiness within himself.

In the poem “Death, be not proud” by John Donne, “death” is treated as a person and Donne talks to him. “Death” means the end in some people’s eyes and he is called “mighty and dreadful”. However, Donne tells him not to be proud as he is not that powerful. “Death” can kill no one, so as Donne. “Death” is compared to “rest and sleep”, two things that are not scary at all.
