Life and death
Death to me is leaving the physical world and move on when God thinks you've had enough on earth. You may not feel like you are ready to die but I think when God sees that you have finished all of your jobs you needed to finish in life, he lets you move on. I think it's kind of like a video game, you move on to the next level. "They think we are looking back at them , which makes them lift their oars and fall silent and wait, like parent" (Collins) I think this quote means that the dead don't want you to worry about them, but they want to watch over you. They want to help you through life and they want to be your guardian angel. In the poem I hear a fly buzz, I thought the author made death in avery unappealing way. She says " The eyes around-had wrung dry." (Dickenson) I think that is a very sad way to think about death. She is saying people cry for you but they will eventually forget you. We are destined to die alone with everything gone. They only living thing that will be there on your death bed will be a gross fly. I think that if you have a very loving family, they will never leave you. Also if you leave a good impact on the world people will remember you. Death could also be a good thing. It frees our souls from our body's and that could be a breath of fresh air for people. In the painting Life and Death, Gustau paints that life has many people in it. All different kinds of people too. He shows the purity of people. In the painting he shows the he shows the baby which is the beginning and the end which is death. He portrays death as a dark thing where it is sad and depressing. When I think about death I think it could be diet but I would like to think of it as a happy place that is bright and full of happiness, heaven.
