Change, a single word that can strike a bit of fear in others. The question of the day is “Is fear good or bad?” there are many experiences with change and as humans we don’t like it. There are three pieces of literature and art that show change, they will be used to show how change is not as bad of a thing that people make it out to be.
In the article “Life After People” by Dolores Vasquez he depicts a world where all human life has disappeared. In this human-less world all animals (dogs, cats, ect.) have reverted back to their animalistic state from their tamed state. Dogs begin to travel in packs and hunt. Man made buildings collapse and power plants shut down. At first glance this doesn’t seem to be positive, but think about it. …show more content…
First of all it is a painting so it is all from visual representation but the change shown is more of an average change, one we encounter more than not. The change shown is a change from day to a beautiful night, from what for many could be a chaotic day or an upsetting day or an average day to a calm night where they can rest then start a new the next day. The change here is very positive but the poem that came out of it was not as positive. Anne sexton had a response to the painting seems negative in a certain light, but what if it's viewed in a different light? when she says “this is how i want to die” (Anne 8) she could mean she is satisfied with how she has lived her life and how it has gone and if she died under the moon then she would be happy. The way these things are viewed have a massive effect on how the message is received Anne’s poem is happier than most think. The way people view these changes make the changes what they are, this is all about the light of which one looks at it. No matter how terrible a change seems a simple change of perspective can make a bad time into a good time. Change is a good thing but because humans are scared of change they view the worst of it and make it bad because of their own views. It’s never too late give a positive look into an upcoming change and enjoy life for what it has to
