She was nearly as tall as I (the box she came in was even bigger)‚ with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her hair was neatly pulled up with pink yarn bows into pigtails of what I called "boing-boing curls" and her eyes were round like that of a "Precious Moments" figurine. She smelled of new plastic and baby powder - that sickeningly sweet smell prevalent on preschool toys. She was dressed in the height of fashion for a child in the mid-eighties.

Life is a great surprise I do not see why death should not be an even greater one “Everyone knows they’re going to die… but nobody believes it. If we did‚ we would do things differently….There’s a better approach. To know you’re going to die‚ and to be prepared for it at any time. That’s better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life while you’re living.” (Albom 82). Morrie feels that people refuse to believe that they will come one day die‚ and therefore‚ do not lives there

Value of Life A Synthesis Paper Short Introduction Life is something that so valuable that you can only live it once‚ not twice‚ not thrice but just once. “We are the ones who get to die when it’s time for us to die‚ so we should live the way we want to” This is one way of looking at life and how would you do it.

Irony played an essential role in these short stories and coincidentally‚ they both ended with a similar conclusion‚ the death of a family member. Moreover‚ both stories revealed Gordimer’s visions of post-apartheid. Sadly‚ due to Gordimer’s description of South African apartheid‚ the South African government censored her books.
