    Death is something that, no matter what works any human does to prevent, will inevitably happen to everyone, but is death something that just happens without a care or is death a tragedy that causes much mourning a grief? Even though we all will perish, death is very tragic and causes much pain to people. Gwen Bristow uses death in her novel Celia Garth, and shows the pain and sorrow that comes with death by showing it through the reactions and events of the characters in the novel. Death can be very traumatic for friends and families of those who are deceased and can have a permanent impact on lives of those who were touched by the one who has passed on while they were alive. Gwen Bristow does an excellent job showing this through the death…

    In a world where CEOs of corporations get paid 20 times larger annual compensations, taxes are ever increasing, and the people demand what they want when they want, it is hardly a utopian society. The wealthy are indeed continuing to live a "privileged" lifestyle. The poorer citizens are not oppressed by the government, but by the situation that the government refuses to remedy. Thomas Paine wrote in his book, The Rights of Man, his beliefs that the United States could be an orderly society; taxes could be few and the government would be fair to its citizens. However, his belief has not held up in recent years.…

    “A lot of modern life is exactly like slaughtering zombies.” This statement is true in the eyes of Chuck Klosterman, where he expresses opinions in his article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead”. In correlation, to the movie Warm Bodies directed by Jonathan Levine one can see that there are many things that we can relate to in modern life that can also be seen in a zombie apocalypse world. For example, in both worlds you can see that once we adapt to our daily lives of work, school, invasion of zombies, and disease, we end up developing a predictable routine in life, no matter the situation. All in all, I believe that there are similarities in a zombie flesh eating world and in the modern world we live in today, we ourselves…

    We all die. It’s an inevitable truth that we all face. Although we don’t know when death will catch up to us, we know that it’s one of the few things that you can count on in the world. Recently, there has a been a strong focus on helping individuals prepare for death and assist them in dying well.
