    This is reflective of the storyline in which both the narrator and his lover can be said to ‘pass over’ into a heaven described not as a place but as the last few moments before death. The poems centres around themes of death and dying but focuses mainly on the idea of heaven as an accumulation of one’s life rather than a destination found after death. The opening quote "The best way to get to heaven is to take it with you" by Henry Drummond, supports the belief that heaven is not an endpoint reached by death but rather a culmination of life, combining what we value most. It’s something we carry with us through life and is constantly changing to reflect our experiences. Death in Liminality is not described with the traditional connotations of fear and an overwhelming sense of loss but instead as an event of beauty and as a moment shared between two people who love each other. The message of the poem could be described as somewhat ambiguous and with all poetry left up to the audience to interpret. However common interpretations focus of the understanding and acceptance of death and the importance of cherishing life and loved ones while we have the chance. Rather than seeking a paradise the poem expresses the importance of recognising the value our lives currently have and how at the moment of death we will understand the significance of the journey over the perceived value of the…

    The brief preface to the novel “Mystery is a form of power.” presents the reader with an overall theme before the first page is even read. Although with a different meaning, Hogan uses power throughout the entire novel and in each facet of the narrative. The novel begins with a demonstration of the vast power that, in both its beauty and its destruction, nature demands. Power was transferred between nature and the Taiga people. A stern refusal of power by Omishto presents itself continually throughout the whole story as she recognizes, cultivates, and obtains her true soul and being.…

    Hannah's Gift Analysis

    • 930 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Two specific memories after Hannah passed away had a strong impact on me as I read. The first was when Maria received the woven rug from a stranger saying the rug was a gift from Hannah. The story of Hannah continuously ran through the woman’s mind, seeming as though it was a sign from God and message from Hannah to her family saying she was with them. I was confused at first since it seemed quite strange that this message was received via a random stranger to Maria, but as she described the details woven into the rug, my confusion turned to awe. The angel woven into the rug resembled specific details of Hannah and included the pink rose resembling the middle name Hannah chose for her new baby sister at the time. The second memory was when Madelaine exclaimed she played with Hannah in heaven before she was born as they passed the pink house Hannah once claimed she would own one day. This was very heartwarming and awe inspiring as well since they had never discussed Hannah liking this house before. It sparked my fascination in how a child’s mind operates and revealed the presence of God working in the mind of a child.…

    Although his book could have definitely been improved in many ways, especially in his habit to briefly explain his rising actions, no other book provides clear understandings of its plots. His book provides clear scientific explanations, and perhaps the most valid of its time while simultaneously providing a nifty adventure. His value of scientific knowledge incorporated into each of the characters was a very interesting read. He also grabs the attention of readers by presenting puzzles that may be of curiosity to his…
