calls it “…the road all runners come” (5). At some point, the strength of every athlete fails and years of grueling miles bring Death to the doorstep. By the second verse, the runner is being carried “[s]houlder-high” (6) once more, but this time in a coffin. By establishing that picture of being carried in triumph early in the poem, the speaker draws a connection between death and victory. But why was Hardy’s sinking ship so macabre and Housman’s dying athlete so exultant? In both cases the…

religious groups and our own government find it unethical and in violation of the sanctity of human life. So, why is it viewed negatively by so many in our country? An online article gave a cogent notion against the practice of physician-assisted death, “The Saddam regime, Communists, Nazis, and others have shown us that human life is to some, nothing more than a science experiment or political resource.

Those that we desire are desirable because it brings us some kind of pleasure (Mill, p. 20). Pleasure comes from an object. Because of this theory Robert Nozick shared with us in his book, the experience machine; a machine…

argument on Death and Harm I agree with this argument which tell us that you do not need to afraid the death, because the death cannot harm you.
