Thanatopsis
Circle of Life
I choose the poem " Thanatopsis" because because I think it had a good message. It has good advice about about what to do when you are thinking about death or someone near to you has died. You have to think about how even though its sad, your body is going back into nature, completing the circle of life. Also if it talks about how no matter what, you are going to die. Everyone dies, so the sooner you accept that, the better. The last stanza then goes on to talk about carpe diem. I agree with the author in that we should live every day to its fullest and never have regrets about things that we do. We should forgive and forget quickly and move on with life because you never know how much time is left. Everyone should take full advantage of every opportunity they are given, because it could be a once in a lifetime thing. Though this poem starts out kinda dark and damper, it definitely has good points.
