    I can remember my father’s funeral like it was yesterday‚ I could feel the sun on my face‚ not fitting weather for a funeral in my opinion. My father was killed‚ no one knows who killed him yet‚ but I am sure that they will catch them. My mother weaped like I have never heard her cry before‚ and I knew that she would never be the same‚ she held my baby sister in her arms as we all stood there together crying‚ trying to find some comfort in one another but not receiving the embrace that we all know

    FUNERAL BLUES by W. H. Auden Stop all the clocks‚ cut off the telephone‚  Prevent the dogs from barking with a juicy bone‚  Silence the pianos and with muffled drum  Bring out the coffin‚ let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead  Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead‚  Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves‚  Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North‚ My South‚ my East and West‚  My working week and my Sunday rest

    “When Miss Emily Grierson died‚ our whole town went to her funeral the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument” This part of the poem sounds as the men only went to the funeral out of respect for Mrs. Emily. The women went just so they could have a glimpse of the inside of her home “ The women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house” . This story was written in 1930 but in 1863 is when Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation of Proclamation that stated all

One who lives their life to the fullest will be content and open to death‚ while one whose life has been empty will fear it; but what if the difference between full and empty was not so easily differentiated? What if reality and falsehood were the same? This idea is contemplated in both Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and
