QUESTION: <\/b><\/p>\n
In this group of readings we have discussed the way many authors use death as a metaphor for change rather than an ending. Choosing two readings from the above list, analyze the way the texts use death to make an argument about the human experience and\/or civilization as a whole. What symbolic function does death have in the works you choose and how does it address a broader thematic idea?<\/b> <\/p>\n
