In the short story‚ “To Hell with Dying” written by Alice Walker‚ Mr. Sweet is a sick old man whose multiple ailments bring him often to the brink of death; the narrator’s father and the children would call him back from his deathlike state by calling “To hell with dying‚ man!” (Walker 1127)‚ and surrounding him with affection.

Case 13.1: The road to hell 1) What‚ in your opinion‚ did Baker hope to accomplish as a result of his conversation with Rennalls? Did he succeed? Why or why not?

geography of each hell and its denizens changes drastically through out the decades‚ as literature is spread across the world. The earliest piece that I chose to examine was Dante Alighieri’s Inferno‚ which dates back to sometime between 1265 and 1321.
