Margaret Atwood’s “Flowers” and Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” are similar in which both themes revolve around the death of a father. Both authors use symbols to strength what they are trying to say. For example, in Atwood’s poem, she compares the dying of her father to dying flowers. When she talks about cutting the dead stems of the flowers, she writes, “...

Both Atwood and Thomas uses symbols to convey that death is inevitable. In addition to both authors using symbols to explain the inevitable aspect of death, both authors are faced with the reality of dealing with death.

Many people have jobs just because they needed one. Whether the job was the right one doesn’t really matter to some people. They just go with the flow without ever asking questions or looking back. Now other people take a long time to think about the job that they are about to go into, and if it is something that they want to do for a short amount of time or long term. That’s what I have been doing here lately and I think the job that would best fit me is carpentry. There are a few ways that…

I looked at my ragged blue clothes, knowing that I wasn’t where I belong. Tris and Tobias were leaving, and I wouldn’t be going with. Looking at my sister, I saw how much she could help the world. “Are you guys ready to go?” Tobias walked up with his usual swagger. “I’m not going with you guys.” I began to lie about why I would not come with them. Tris engulfed me in a hug. While waving goodbye, I watched them walk off; I turned around and began walking toward the tall glass building that…

"I have no use for cowardice pigs in my army!" A gruff voice echoed. Laying the boys lifeless body upon the ground, Arien focused his attention upon the hilltop. "He did not deserve such a fate! You bastard!" Intrigued the King stepped out from behind the wall of thrity or so archers, "And who are you?" he questioned calmly as though nothing had happened. Heart sank, stomach knotted as Arien's angered gaze became one of burning hatred and disdain. "I am Arien! True King of Volsted!" "Ah,…

Shortly after he started, Dereck also started to experience some equipment issues. If he would have…

excited and it seemed my brain worked at a feverish pace. She responded with little hesitation. "I will be your talking companion when the fit comes upon you," she said with firm conviction, "And I will agree diligently with your insensate ramblings because I would feel saddened to cause you any harm." I assured her of my gratitude and pretended after a time to sleep. Presently I began to mumble and speak, finally along lecherous lines. "My knob is swollen, sweet. Pray touch it as is your…
