The Last Night Of The World, By Ray Bradbury

Although death is a completely natural part of life, accepting death may not be so natural. Imagine if all the people in a community had the exact same dream that the world was going to end overnight. In "The Last Night of the World" written by Ray Bradbury the adults in the story are forced to accept that death is coming over night. Typically, when people find out that they are going to die, they are not able to accept it. However, in this story the characters encounter death and accept the fact that death is around the corner. They went to work, they did the dishes, they put the kids to bed and they were content with what they had. Bradbury teaches that people who live lives without regret tend to be able to accept death more easily.
