Thomas, expresses his thoughts on how old dying men should not give up and just accept their fate of death. Instead he persists that they fight back and “rage, rage against the dying of the light”(line 1). He wants them to put up a struggle and not just simply roll over and take what is given to them. This poem meant a lot to me as I have a dying grandfather and Thomas has a dying father so I understand where his emotions are coming from. Also how he wants his own father to put up a fight with death, my grandfather is doing the same as he has had two open-heart surgery’s and still refuses to live in a home. Although death is inevitable Thomas wants the dying men to rave against
