Death is an inevitable part at the end of human life, despite how many people try to avoid it. Sometimes death is seen as a sacrifice, as noticed in “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. However, not all sacrifices are deaths, as seen in “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. In both stories, upon analysis and comparison, one can see the similarities and differences involving the theme of sacrifice. When the two stories are put side by side, one will see that Connell and Hurst both use death in a way that displays character development. This is shown when Brother of “The Scarlet Ibis” becomes regretful and Rainsford of “The Most Dangerous Game” becomes what he once hated, the reader will also realize how the characters’ personality traits
The immune people have to fight these people and not let Wicked kill them because they want to use them for a cure. The disease once you are infected by it starts taking control of your body and you turn into what they call a crank or a zombie.

Mike Wise’s article Death and Deception documents the scandal that engrossed the Baylor Bears men’s basketball programs during the summer months of 2003. In June 2003, Patrick Dennehy, a Baylor basketball player, was murdered by his teammate Carlton Dotson. Dennehy had transferred to Baylor and the upcoming 2003-2004 season would be his first as a Bear; he redshirted the 2002-2003 season. Baylor’s head coach, Dave Bliss, was also forced to resign that summer after the increased scrutiny that Dennehy’s murder brought upon the basketball program led to many of Bliss’s rule violations being discovered. The after-effects of what occurred in the summer of 2003 stuck with Baylor’s basketball program for quite awhile as their probation only ended
Although death seems to be a theme for many literary poems, it also appears to be the most difficult to express clearly. Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “death” as, “A permanent cessation of all vital function: end of life.” While this definition sounds simple enough, a writer’s definition goes way beyond the literal meaning. Edwin Arlington Robinson and Robert Frost are just two examples of poetic writers who have used death successfully as the main theme of their works. Robinson, in the poem “Richard Cory,” and Frost in his poem, “Home Burial,” present death in different ways in order to invoke different feelings and emotions from their readers.
Chronicle of a death foretold Chronicle of a death foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a fictitious novel. It was originally written in Spanish but was later translated to English. The story began on the morning of Santiago Nasar’s murder. We are being told the story in first person view by an unnamed narrator who has witness the events that occurred. I think there is a surreal and repetitive tone; I get the feeling that the narrator is investigating the murder because we are told the story years later from an omniscient point of view and all the characters’ thoughts are shared.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold In Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the narrator tells us that two people were responsible for the death of Santiago Nasar, however the narrator is wrong.

I am in a well-lit room with soft carpet under my feet. The room has a unique sweet smell that I do not recognize. My body is trembling as I listen to the soft music. My worst fear in this instant is that I will pass out and leave my mom to face this on her own. The reason I am in this room right now is not that I have always wanted to experience this. The only reason I am here is that it is not fair to leave my mom to deal with this on her own.

Death is something at affects all of us and all cultures have certain ways of thinking about and handling this unfortunate fact of life. Many don’t look forward to it or don’t want it to happen to others. The way people react or think about death is strongly tied to the individual’s culture. Religion which is a part of culture affects the way a lot of people view death considering the fact that 84 percent of the world follows a religion. Rituals of death vary from culture to culture in the way they prepare for death, honor their memory, and to the way the body is handled. It is important to understand how others morn in order to avoid offending them. Imagine if someone came to a typical American funeral and started dancing with the corpse of the deceased? There would most likely be cries of outrage or maybe even police involvement, but dancing with the corpse that is exactly what the Malagasy people in Madagascar do when one of their loved ones die. That example shows how there is drastically different ways to mourn in other cultures. Not all people following the same religion practice the same ceremonies. It’s important to understand how other cultures handle death as we all like respect especially in such sad times.
