A Happy Death

he had was his voice which can express his wisdom. He was depending on others, which might make some people that he should be ashamed. Instead of being ashamed, he had chosen to live until his last breath. Besides, life in Morrie’s mind means being happy. Morrie’ story was a unique lesson, which inspire me to change the way I think and live with. This movie led me to understand the real meaning of life. Simply, it told me that life is time to learn. It is never being late to learn, change, and…

experiences death in their life because death is inevitable. When a loved one dies, the most comfort that can be felt during the loss is through religion. There are many different religions in the world, but all of them have a positive aspect on death. This slight similarity between all these religions brings a relieving feeling. A lot of people do not know their own stance on religion until dealing with the loss of loved one. Every religion has a different way of dealing with death of a family…

“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…

Ivan Ilych Golovin went through much conflict and many transformations in the novel “The Death of Ivan Ilych”. The novel was written by Leo Tolstoy, who was considered the greatest Russian novelist. Much of his work examines a tragic event or situation of human existence. Tolstoy believed in the moral development of humanity, but was also aware of the painful events one must go through to progress in life. This novel dramatizes Tolstroy’s central spiritual concerns. Ivan Ilych rushes his future…

In light of the recent death of Robin Williams in June of last year, the world began to realize the complex life of a person who lived to put smiles on the faces of many. We learned in the life of Williams that behind the happy face laid a man drowning in depression and bipolar disorder, his being was gilded, charming, funny, and happy on the outside but on the inside sad and fighting demons he couldn’t beat. This relationship between comedic joy and personal struggle and sadness is what…

Everyone deals with death and grieving in different ways. Some people constantly cry, some like to talk about their emotions, and some like to stay very closed off. Talking to someone and understanding death is a very important part of the grieving process. Not all young children understand what death actually means, not all teens know how to deal with the loss of a loved one and not everyone knows how to talk to someone about death. The grieving process of losing a loved one suddenly can be…

that Death means the termination of something. I don’t look at death in terms of all of the sadness it brings. Instead, I look at it just the end of something, whether it is a human life or the end of a rollercoaster ride. Both are the same in my opinion, even though there would be some debated that one might be sadder about the end of a human life versus the end of a rollercoaster ride. Emily Dickinson seems to take that same approach. Emily Dickinson’s poem “Because I could not stop for Death”…

In the film, The Seventh Seal, by Ingmar Bergma, argues that death is the only truth that exists for all man's knowledge. Ingmar shows this through the character Antonius Block, The Squire Jon, and the actor Jof, as each shows a different perspective on their belief on life and what death is/ means to them. You will also find symbolism in the lighting and sound. Through the knight you can see that faith can replace knowledge through some people and can not through others. One example may be the…

At the end of the novel, I believe the title stays true to the story, and Rufus is killed. I think what happens is that Victor, speeding towards Althea, desperate to get to Delilah, hits Rufus. “Victor, frantic to get to his presumably dying love, is driving over the speed limit to get to her. All he has on his mind is her and doesn’t seem to notice the boy absently crossing the street with his headphones on. In an instant, he’s hit him and even more, dread fills him. He can’t stand to look at…
