Thoughts on Life, Death, and the Search for a Former Clarity Pt. II
This is the second half of my English paper. Enjoy and comment!
Everyone becomes the same person when they die. The rest of the world seems to take the dead and fit them into this perfectly shaped mold of how a person should be in the memories of the living. Everyone had a family they love and which loved them. Everyone had a hobby or club or ( Read more... )
for what it's worth, i think exactly what i said was "have you tried listening to that last song and not tearing up? i know i can't, and i've already tried a couple of times. i knew two friends that died that way... (now i don't remeber exactly what it was, but the main point goes like this), i still can't help but scream out at the ending. i know i could never beg for death, but that's a healthy 19 year old saying that. do you think we all feel like that at the end? did andy?" (just in case if you wanted that; feel free to apply it to yoiur paper however you see fit.)
have you ever thought about your own death? i've thought about writing an informal last will and testament because 1. it'd be amusing, and 2. i'd rather not turn into the stereotypical dead person you so very well described. i know if i died (drug overdose, skydiving accident, car flipping over... it's not impossible) that they'd bury me in a catholic church, and they'd pray for my forgiveness, and... just fuck that. i want it to be somewhere nice, outside if at all possible (it always looks so nice in the movies), and have people share amusing stories about me, and then just go irish wake, and have a good fucking time. if i'm a ghost, i expect to be able to hear that mixture of tears and laughing that we made at andy's wake, and if i'm not around, then i'll be too nonexistent to care, but people should have a good time anyways.
so, the point of that was maybe include a reflection about your own death if you feel like it, or if it fits at all with the rest of the paper. other than that, i liked the paper a lot. it felt like the first part was written too informally if you want to look at that again, but that may just be a stylistic difference. well, i am off with this last thought: we always saw andy sitting ass naked on a porch strumming an accoustic guitar with a cowboy hat and those fucking aviator sunglasses on, just hanging out in heaven like the badass he is. work that in the paper and you'll get a dollar. ta!
