Thoughts on an english poem!
So far in english this year we have read and studied many different styles of poems. Most of these poems shared the similar theme of death! Death may seem like such a depressing topic. When some people think of death, darkness and sadness may come to mind and its not exactly something that a lot of people enjoy reading about. I on the other hand enjoy reading these types of poem, not because im sick and twisted and love the idea of death but because i like to understand different view points on this subject. Death is something that no one really knows much about, and you dont know how you will react to it until the day comes. Some people embrace it while others will fight against it till the end. The poem "Do not go Gentle Into That Good Night" is a good representation on fighting against deth. The title alone gives you a good idea of how this person views death." Do not go gentle" for example, this to me means put up a fight!The sentence "rage,rage against the dying of the light" is also repeated multiple time through out the poem, this really emphasizes how badly he wants to fight for his life! There were other peoms that had diferent thoughts about death like i mentioned before these poems thought of death as a possitive experience and that you should embrace it and let nature take it corse. I strongly beleive you should fight until your last breath.Life is a beautiful thing and you only get to live it once. Life is ment to be appreciated and you sould enjoy every last minute of it! I mean i do understand the idea of embrassing dreath and preparing yourself but i dont think you can ever be truely prepared. When my time comes wich i hope is a long long time from now, i can garantee you i will not go gentle into that good night!!!
