Life stance

embraces or opposes Death himself. In both “Do not go gentle into that good night” and “479,” each author aims to portray death as a part of life and use its power to convey life lessons. In “Do not go gentle into that good night,” Thomas aims to prepare the reader to fight the light of death by illustrating how death…

The poem, “Because I could not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson shows the clear dynamics of an outer body viewing of leading into the afterlife. Dickinson has been known to use the concept of light and dark in her previous writing. She is fascinated with the subject of death and portrays this in a comforting manner. It is no wonder the author consistently uses metaphors, dark tones, and styles in each stanza by illustrating the distressing subject of death in a more lighthearted way.…

Most people would base their moral stance on abortion on exactly when they believe ‘life’ begins; and when a foetus consequently becomes a person. However, the absence of an empirically determined timescale means that anybody’s guess is valid here, and so unless one side can produce an argument that is equally relevant regardless of whether the foetus is human yet, debates on the topic are essentially reduced to ‘yes-no’ level quarrels. Thompson (A Defence of Abortion, 1971) made an attempt at…

Melinda and Melissa have a very hard decision to make. Their brother, Matthew, was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident that leaves him incapacitated with the only sign of life being hooked up to life support equipment. According to his “living will” both sisters must equally agree upon the most critical decision of having medical staff “pull the plug,” or not. This is a huge decision that will take much consideration upon both sisters to reach a common ground with one another. Each…

While there is a substantial difference in how we raise animals (within terms of stray, wild, and domestic animals), there is no say in the animals life on how they should be treated. Finally, he seems to indirectly state some of the obvious logic that we are superior and it is only the way of life that we eat meat and research on animals to make life a little easier. It is possible that we can cure cancer or find a way to stop infestations, or even cause breeding to increase, which could…

Work Life Balance "There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life." - Alain de Botton In the light of the above statement, I would say that it cannot define an ambitious person's life any better but for his own sanity he will have to maintain a balance between his personal and professional life. Some time ago the limits of work and home were clearly defines. Today, work is prone to interfere in our lives — and keeping up work-life offset is not…

consistent question which has punctuated human thought throughout time. Whether embodied or disembodied, survival of the soul seems to be dependent on forces that humans do not have the technology to scientifically prove right now. The most plausible stance about life after death is no personal survival. To prove this, first, I will describe the arguments for personal survival, which I oppose, and then present an argument based on the unintelligibility of souls with Sosa’s “Spatial Awareness”…

death. Dickinson’s poem is about her journey through life and her outlook on it. Donne’s poem is about how death shouldn’t be proud of what it does to people and how to overlook it. Both of these poems are very similar in many ways. The most related would be that the poems have the theme of death. They are both about how the authors’ views…

widespread mourning and even panic. But there is never a focus on the beauty of dying itself. Most often, the depiction of dying focuses on the sadness associated with the concept of loss, while in The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien takes a different stance on the depiction of passing. While most authors of war related literature use the idea of death to depict a somber mood, O’Brien utilizes the moment of death to portray the deeper theme that beauty can often be found in the most tragic…

reluctant Everyday people. Who find themselves in extraordinary situations.The difference that happens between people is when some don't do anything about it instead there turning away from the dangerous situation, and others act heroically and take a stance to help.
