Dylan Thomas, “ Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.” In life, some people are unfortunate to have to experience the death of a loved one. Losing someone you love can be unconceivable to some people, as they can’t imagine losing that person at all. In Dylan Thomas’ poem, “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.”, he is going through the unconceivable in having to watch a loved die. He goes through having to watch his father go through a very slow death. But in hind’s sight, he wants his father to fight for his life and not give in.
In my opinion, Hamlet is a young man that deeply loves his father and is severely affected by his death. Even though Hamlet has learned the truth of his father’s death by his uncle, he is indecisive. He hesitates and cannot bring himself to kill Claudius. At the right moment in which Hamlet could have murdered Claudius he becomes doubtful. It is because Claudius is speaking his prayers to God and Hamlet is unsure if he should strike in fear that he will be sent to hell.
RESEARCH PAPER EVERYMAN Christol Council Liberty University August 19, 2012 Thesis The play “Everyman” uses characters that are spiritual to tell the story of Everyman.

The summons of Death makes Everyman realize he is not ready to die and does not want to take the journey alone, but ultimately has to stand alone.
Through Steinbeck’s literary techniques he explains the causes of Lennie’s death through the theme, characterization and foreshadowing. Although Steinbeck was able to leave his readers with many thoughts to think about from the story, one of the themes that clearly show the cause of Lennie’s death is sacrificing. Even though by killing Lennie, George lifts a heavy burden off his chest for he no longer has to take care of Lennie and deal with all the troubles Lennie keep on making for him. However, George has to sacrifice his friendship and love because by shooting Lennie he loses a friend whom had always been keeping him company and shares a dream with him, to have their own farm where they would share and live together. Other than that, it was not easy for George to shoot Lennie but he had to do it because if he didn’t he knew that Curley would and in a more painful way.
From Steven Ertelt’s article, we knew that Ewart said, if he chose to live, he would suffer illness, but it did not mean he could cure the disease and have a new life (2008). Patients suffer grievous pain, and those who want to live, have to suffer through the horrible illness. But if there is no hope, and these patients choose to do euthanasia, relief is instantaneous. In addition, people would love to live with happiness. Imagine that your life is filled with pain.
Mitch now understands that Morrie’s death will bring him greater things. Morrie tells Mitch that everyone is aware that they will eventually die, but no one actually believes it. When Mitch asks Morrie how one can be prepared to die, Morrie simply replies with an old Buddhist philosophy: every day, one must ask the bird on his shoulder if that day is the day he will die. He says that it is only once a person knows how to die, that they can know how to live. Morrie tells Mitch that if he accepts death, he may not be as ambitious as he is now, because he will see that he must spend time on what is meaningful to him, and not working to make money.
He has learned to adapt without her in his life but her memory still influences every aspect of his life. Josie’s loss is different as it happens when she is older and more mature. Josie’s friend John had been suffering from depression and his father’s need for him to succeed. John felt that he had no other choice but to commit suicide so he overdosed himself to end his life. Even though the two characters are at different points in their lives when they experience their loss, both grieve deeply for their loved one.
He can feel death around and his only regret was that he couldn’t follow his passion of writing. He even starts drinking alcohol even though he knows that it’s bad at such a time, but he doesn’t stop because he knows that he is anyways going to die but at least the alcohol makes him feel a little better. And so he dies a sad, slow and painless death. “The Wall” shows us three different characters who are all going to die but go through different emotions. Juan, a young boy, doesn’t want to die and he starts to cry and sweat and tremble and starts to talk about
Those who have died, he asks them to look down and say they will never forget. He asked those who survived to look up and say they never forget. This oath is symbolic because the author shows communication between the living and the dead. He wants those who have died to be honored and those who have survived he want them to be advocate to tell everyone what war was really like. Nothing should be sugar coded because many lives were lost and many individuals suffered a great deal and everyone should understand why.
A man only knows about living. If a person takes a bullet and dies for somebody that he really cares about, like his family, he probably thinks that he took the right decision and that it was worth dying for this important person. Many people, especially men who are in the army often says that he would die for his county and that he would be considered honorable. But like I said, he doesn’t know that until it is to late to change his opinion. From time to time I hear the saying ’‘You have to die in order to protect your life.’’ There is no sense in that what so ever.
