“One death is a tragedy; one million deaths is a statistic” It is easy to personalise one death – we can all imagine someone we know dying. However‚ beyond 100 or so‚ the number of deaths becomes unfathomable and we can only think of it in an abstract‚ conceptual sense. That is to say‚ we can understand that a million people dying is a terrible thing‚ but we do not feel the amount of sorrow and pain that we feel if one person living relatively near to us dies. Therefore‚ we see one secluded

In the play‚ Death of a Salesman‚ by Arthur Miller‚ there are a number of ways Willy Loman shows his version of the American Dream. The most obvious way is him thinking that any man who is manly‚ good looking‚ charismatic‚ and well-liked deserves success and will naturally achieve it.

The first poem I choose to review was “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” by Randall Jarrell on p. 583. The first 4 lines are images that depict a young man who goes off to war‚ to find himself in the ball turret of a fighter plane.

not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson is a poem about the person’s awareness of death. At first‚ the speaker communicates her feelings and thoughts about Death‚ and she also describes her journey with Death‚ who is personified. Then‚ suddenly‚ at the end‚ one can infer that the speaker turns to the harsh reality of dying and experiences death. “Because I could not stop for Death” is an extended metaphor of the speaker’s awareness of dying‚ and she demonstrates her relationship to death as peaceful
