Death plays a significant role in each and every life, and it is also one of the most feared thoughts that swim through the head of many individuals. Both of the poems, “Because I could not stop for Death,” and “Death be not proud,” look at the subject ‘death’ as the main theme.

All of the sudden it hit me. In three years I was going to be in a red cap and gown. In three years when the announcer said “Deziree Ortega”, I would be the one shaking hands with the principle. In three years I’d be face to face with my biggest fear, the future. In the two years since my cousin’s graduation, the future has…

The letter “A” on Hester’s gown was conspicuous, as it was “surrounded with an elaborate embroidery and fantastic flourishes of gold thread” (37).

On September 5, 2015, I visited the University of Memphis Art Museum. The works on display were by Samuel Hester Crone. Crone was born in Tennessee and grew up in Memphis.
