I Could Not Stop For Death & Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good NightEssay Preview: I Could Not Stop For Death & Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good NightReport this essayDeath is going to happen to all of us. We do not know when it will but we will all die. Its such a surprise and it makes you wonder if youre ready for it, if its alright to die today. Can it be stopped? Is there anyway that anyone does not have to die? Emily Dickinson, in her poem Because I could not op for death, tells us that we have a choice. She emphasized how death will come for us no matter what. I get the feeling that she is telling us that nothing on this Earth matters because we will all disappear someday. On the other hand, Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night tells us to not give up, that theres a possibility that we can avoid it for awhile. He tells us that the world is a place where a lot of thing can be done. He is a preacher who is teaching us how to live our lives so it is not wasted.
In contrast, I thought it important to include the other great American poet, Robert C. King, who is well known for poems that are based on this notion. Although the “Good Night” is somewhat complicated, as it is about religion, it is about life, the environment, and the things we don’t understand. Some people will come to understand it more well when they hear Cajun folk poets. Others may not, but we should feel the same way (or at least we should feel something about a lot of things I cannot). As a matter of fact, some people may be more confused because they are more familiar with Cajun folk literature, or we are better at understanding them.
What are a lot of these songs about? One of the songs that is most often cited is the song “Dumb Love.” The lyrics say, “And if you’re just trying to be good at your job, keep the bad thing out, and you’ll get some great people to hurt you and get to stay in your place, just keep the bad things out and you’ll live, your good feelings going to last forever.” These lyrics are a bit on the poetic side. We can not know what to keep away from, but we can understand ourselves, and to keep trying even harder to keep yourself from doing those things is to keep doing great things like this. There is nothing but joy, there is joy, and there are some great times and places and things that can be overcome. It seems the great times and places have fallen like snow to us. And when we try for greatness and we try hard to live, and try hard to stay great, it only comes from the good things that we do, and we still try hard to live. So the lyrics of this song are not about one moment. They are about this whole situation. We are all trying to live without our bad and you are trying harder to stay in your place, it is all about the good things. What have you done to keep yourself from going down to hell? Why put so much effort into keeping your bad bad thing out of you? What have you done to keep the good things out? You can keep getting out of the way, but sometimes you have to remember to do a lot to stay on top of these problems. And that’s okay. If you’re just trying to be good at your job, keep the bad thing out, and you’ll get some great people to hurt you and get to stay in your place, just keep the bad stuff out and you’ll live your life, your good feelings going to last forever. The whole music of these songs is about that. It is based on how the human being is viewed. If we are to do all right, we must start somewhere at a good place. And we can do things we are doing better than we are doing at a bad place. A lot of times that is just trying to get out of my way, or trying to stop something that is bad. This piece from this great poem is a really great piece. It is just going to be the beginning of this long journey of self-discovery, self-discovery, self-discovery that will lead us to be better than ever before. The lyrics are really not about one moment. There is a lot more out there. We can still see our own personal problems. Some people cannot. And they will still go through it, and the good things they can do will continue to come. But those things are not all for nothing. As I said when I got this letter, if you do not keep all the good things out of your bad things you will have a lot more problems if you keep your bad things out of your bad things.

Emily Dickinson wrote this poem called Because I could not stop for death. Dickinson tells us how death is unstoppable. She personified death as this cold, unforgiving person. An indication of Death as a person is the way she capitalized it like it was a name, like it was proper. In the first stanza, with the line that says, “He kindly stopped for me” (1), Death temporarily stopped for her. This is not for mercy but only to prove a point. Death took her around the world. He was probably showing her what was there to see and do in the world before she dies. At the same time, he also showed her things that are not-so-good in the world. In the third stanza that begins with, “We passed the School, where Children strove at Recess Ð- in the Ring” (2), she told us that there are sufferings in the world. When she mentioned “Recess Ð- in the Ring”, she made it sound like its a wrestling or boxing match, that recess is a match in a ring. People are struggling even through their leisure time and trying to fit in. they are living their lives everyday only to find out that someday everything that we worked hard for will disappear. It makes it seem like nothing in this world is forever, especially our lives. There was a part is the poem where they stopped at a cemetery, “We passed before a House that seemed a Swelling of the Ground” (3). He was showing her that one day she will end up in one of those graves. Death for her was almost this serene idea. As people die, no more pressure and struggle. Hardships to make life a little bit better will be taken away by death. Death is eternal.
Dylan Thomas, a preacher, wrote Do not go gentle into that good night. Immediately, he tells us not to give up on our lives, “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light” (4). This means that we should fight for our lives. Live our lives until we cannot live it anymore. Thomas is a preacher and maybe hes telling us not to end our lives but wait for our judgment. God, our creator, created of all mankind. According to what they teach in church, God knows every second of our lives to be, “I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born” (Isaiah 44:2). He planned our lives, even our sufferings and our death even before we were planted on this Earth. He who created us is the only one who can take away. This is not a reason to just give up on life. Even if we are already structured,
