Pet Sematary
Louis Creed is a doctor who moves his family to Ludlow, Maine from
Chicago because of a job he accepted as an MD at some University. His family
(Rachel, his wife, Ellie, his daughter, and Gage, his baby son) are happy about
moving, thought they soon will come to have reservations. Both children are hurt
on the first day of the move.
Louis makes friends with an old man across the road named Jud Crandall,
who promises to show them where the path behind their house leads. It is with
these three seemingly innocuous events that the spiral in toward darkness begins.
The path behind the house ends up in a place known to the locals as the Pet
cemetary. It is a graveyard for children's pets, most lost to the Interstate Road
which seperates the Crandall's and the Creeds' homes. The gravestones are set in a
spiraling pattern.
Ellie has questions about death terrified that her cat Church will have to go
to the Pet cemetary. Louis answers her honestly and later Rachel and him have an
argument. She was Scared by the cemetary, and was uncomfortable with the idea
of deth in general because at the age of eight Rachel witnessed her sister Zelda
die of spinal Problems, an incident which scarred her for life. It only gets grimmer
from here.
Louis's first day as a university MD is a horror. A guy named Victor
Pascow is run over by a car. Before he dies he gives Creed an message warning
him about the Pet cemetary and the grounds beyond.
During Thanksgiving vacation, while Louis's family is away, the cat Church
is killed by a truck. Jud offers to help Louis, and brings him to the Pet cemetary.
They arrive at the Micmac Indian burial grounds. Jud has Louis bury Church and
build a stone cairn over the grave. Slowly Louis realizes the cairns are arranged in
a spiral, like the markers at the Pet Sematary. Later, when Louis is home alone,
Church returns.
The burial grounds make the dead come to life, but it has greater powers as
well. It is a dark and secret place, a place which actually controlls matters of life,
death, and obsession. After Church the cat returns he smells bad and acts vicious
towards people.
When the family returns they decide to go to the park for a picnic.

The funerary rituals introduced by the Egyptians were the most intricate, spiritual rites in their times and, perhaps, even to this day. Their elaborate customs, tombs, and gifts to the dead were representative of their pious, devoted nature. Albeit not all were as imposing as the oldest and still remaining Seven Wonder of the World, the Pyramids of Giza, all were meaningful and sacred. The Egyptians, highly reverent of their dead, adopted ornate, religious burial practices to fit to every member of their society.

Rachel does not turn for direction in her soul, but turns to her body instead, leaving her to be egocentric. If something doesn’t interest Rachel, it doesn’t matter to her. For example, when Ruth May died, the rest of the family handled the death badly, compared to Rachel, who seemed upset only because she wouldn’t be able to forget the Congo, and will continue to have memories of it. This is ironic, considering that Rachel does not show any interest in the Congo, but now she will have to have it haunt her for the rest of her

At the same time, those reburying the dead would present new goods, many from those not from the moving village, that would be added to the graves. This increase the number of artifacts present, and if someone analyzing these graves did not know that such an event occurred, it may be interpreted that the deceased were of a very high status. Since bones appear sexless to those who aren’t trained to notice it, male and female bodies may be mixed up, depending on how carefully the bodies are moved, meaning that while men and women are only originally buried with their respective sex or with certain goods, reburial may change how the data appears. Along this same path, old burials are likely mixed with new, so trends in how bodies are oriented and the goods they are buried with may be lost with each reburial. Ultimately, it is important to consider each burial within its culture’s specific context before attempting to make any assumptions about mortuary practices. By failing to note how reburials impact the context of a grave, especially mass reburials like the Huron Festival of the Dead, important information about these mortuary practices is lost due to one’s own

Choose two characters form Buried Child, compare and contrast them, and say what each say to the contributions to the action to the play… DODGE Vs. VINCE The character is Dodge and Vince I have chosen to look at for a comparison in Buried Child. Dodge is chosen because he seems to be at the centre of many of the reasons why this family is in the state it is in. He acts as catalyst in this dysfunctional family. A good example of this is, is his relationship he has with Halie. He has no respect for her, and in fact for no one in his own family, as even in the first scene they are shouting at each other.
Cemeteries represent numerous lives and memories commemorating their deaths in scenes of cultural and social
On Leon and Ken's way back into pueblow (town) they see Father Paul, who asked if they found their missing grandfather yet, and they tell him where they found him, but not that he's dead. "Good Morning, father. We were just out to the sheep camp. Everything is o.k. now."
Robert Frost’s “Home Burial” is a very well written poem about a husband’s and a wife’s loss. Their first born child has died recently. Amy and her husband deal with their loss in two very different ways, which cause problems. Amy seems like she confines their child to the grave. She never seems to le go of the fact she has lost her first child. Amy’s husband buried their child himself. This allowed him to let go and live a normal life. Amy does not understand how he could do what he did. Therefore, she wants to have nothing to do with him, especially talk to him. He doesn’t understand why she can’t let go, and why she won’t talk to him. He tries to get her to tell him why, but she just wants to go to someone else. She will not talk to him or let him talk to her because he always speaks offensively. This lack of communication was there before the death, which I think will be the downfall of their marriage. Frost’s use of imagery and tone allow the reader to see and feel what Amy and her husband are going through.
