Dying.
That's what I am.
This is what I'll be remembered as.
I'll be remembered as the sick girl in the hospital unable to do anything for herself.
I want to be remembered as the girl who fought to live.
I want to be remembered as the girl who was still able to laugh. Even in those last moments.
I won't be though.
Because I don't have anyone who will remember those moments.
Only doctors and nurses who are only focused on curing the next one.
Because they can't cure me.
So please, remember that girl.
The one who wasn't afraid to go.
Who accepted her fate.
Because that girls gone now with me in her place.
I'm terrified.
I'm not ready.
I'm not laughing anymore.
I'm just dying.
So please, remember that girl.
Not this one.
Just remember.
Remember

    Death Of A Young Son Poem Analysis

    “Death of a Young Son by Drowning” by Margaret Atwood tells the very vivid story of a mother’s son’s death. The tone used by the author was reflective, happy, and yet still sorrowful. Atwood sort of describes the son’s death as an adventure, giving the poem a happy and optimistic tone. She uses words that make it seem almost like a journey, for instance in line 4 she uses “voyage,” in line 25 “long trip,” and line 13 “reckless adventurer,” that make it seem almost exciting. There is also a shift in tone in lines 16-18 when she says, “There was an accident; the air locked, he was hung in the river like a heart.…

In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…
