cynical feelings towards the brevity of life. Whilst both poets share one theme, they do not share literary intention, and each poem is able to communicate a different message and meaning. Nature is used in each poem in order to further display their pessimistic views, as well as an interesting choice of language and structure in order to take the reader on very different journeys. Juan Ramón Jiménez is able to demonstrate the theme of the shortness of life in his poem ‘El viaje…

The fictional story of Liz’s life and death deserves a place in the magical realism genre. Written by Gabrielle Zevin in her novel “Elsewhere”.

to face death. How to face death is the most difficult lesson which we need to study in our life, and many people are not able to understand it. In Dickinson’s poem, she gives me a completely new idea about death: humans are doomed to die. However, humanity is able to exist eternally.

He hopes that finding a woman to marry will provide him with a desirable, exuberant life. In Eliot's poem, Prufrock attends an upper-class party bursting with beautiful women who “come and go, talking of Michelangelo” (Eliot 14).

has become of the young and old men? And what do you think has become of the women and children? They are alive and well somewhere. The smallest sprout shows there is really no death” (II. 38-41). What’s being proven is how the grass is a circle of life. So when we die we are buried underground and end up decomposing. When we decompose is what the grass takes in to grow. We’re like a fertilizer. This is significant because…

little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland” (3). The grey land is “somber and always silent” (line 2), because the destiny of the land is not fulfilled. It does not want to be silent, but to be enriched with the sound of life. The beautiful land remains unrecognized and untouched by mankind. The land evokes a feeling of anguish and a somber mood which foreshadows the more significant conflict of the story: the death of John Bergson. Although, it is rather not a conflict but a…

Each of us is born with an end-of-life ultimatum, one we can choose to approach with fear and disgust, or one we can greet as an old friend at the end of a worthy life. In this essay we will discuss my own personal death, including: the ways I would wish to die and to not die, the age I wish to reach for my passing, my desired funeral preparations, and the disposition of my body after life. Death, by my own personal definition, is not only the complete lack…
