Benjamin Franklin once famously said, “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” There are several pieces of literature like this quote that elaborate on how people deal with and have dealt with mortality. In the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, two star crossed lovers, Hazel, a teenage girl with terminal lung cancer, and Augustus, an 18 year old with…

A Tear For The Terror Of Time Death: an experience more frightful to the mind second hand, leaving the mind bemused and adrift in the realm of thought. The human mind goes through certain proceedings to help grapple with the suddenness of the unexpected tragedy. In Steve Minor’s “I Cried Of Course,” Minor uses visual effects, music, and writing to express feelings of vulnerability during the event of a death.

As United States citizens, born and raised in a privileged, first world country, we do not fully comprehend the pain of true suffering. This is highly debatable, as many in this nation have experienced poverty, death in their family, homelessness, and other struggles, but digesting the entire nauseating concept of suffering associated with the Holocaust is nearly impossible. The countless written works devoted to this tragedy are known for their ability to provoke thought and test morals.…

The astonishing level of agony present in a person once they have lost a loved one is described in the poem, “Stop All of the Clocks, Cut off the Telephone” by W.H. Auden.

This is found in the poem when Auden states, “For nothing now can…

This characterizes the separation between the protagonists and…
