Continuation...

And Death heard the summons,
And he leaped on his fastest horse,
Pale as a sheet in the moonlight.
Up the golden street Death galloped,
And the hooves of his horses struck fire from the gold,
But they didn't make no sound.
Up Death rode to the Great White Throne,
And waited for God's command.

And God said: Go down, Death, go down,
Go down to Savannah, Georgia,
Down in Yamacraw,
And find Sister Caroline.
She's borne the burden and heat of the day,
She's labored long in my vineyard,
And she's tired--
She's weary--
Go down, Death, and bring her to me.

And Death didn't say a word,
But he loosed the reins on his pale, white horse,
And he clamped the spurs to his bloodless sides,
And out and down he rode,
Through heaven's pearly gates,
Past suns and moons and stars;
on Death rode,
Leaving the lightning's flash behind;
Straight down he came.

While we were watching round her bed,
She turned her eyes and looked away,
She saw what we couldn't see;
She saw Old Death.  She saw Old Death
Coming like a falling star.
But Death didn't frighten Sister Caroline;
He looked to her like a welcome friend.
And she whispered to us: I'm going home,
And she smiled and closed her eyes.

And Death took her up like a baby,
And she lay in his icy arms,
But she didn't feel no chill.
And death began to ride again--
Up beyond the evening star,
Into the glittering light of glory,
On to the Great White Throne.
And there he laid Sister Caroline
On the loving breast of Jesus.

And Jesus took his own hand and wiped away her tears,
And he smoothed the furrows from her face,
And the angels sang a little song,
And Jesus rocked her in his arms,
And kept a-saying: Take your rest,
Take your rest.

Weep not--weep not,
She is not dead;
She's resting in the bosom of Jesus.

1. The worldview that I have more sympathy with is the worldview of James Weldon Johnson. Since I am a believer that when Jesus decided to take your life then there is nothing you can do. No matter how hard you try fighting death, you will not make it through. It is also less stressful since I don't have to constantly think about fighting death which will make me enjoy my life more. And lastly, we all have to accept that death is inevitable. No matter how strong or healthy you are, eventually, you will face death.

2. For me, it is important to reflect about death because it motivates me to live my life to the fullest. It motivates me to finish my goals by telling me that I don't have all the time in the world to finish my goals. It also makes me appreciate life more since I like to think of life as a valuable limited time gift that I only get one of. And especially for a competitive person like me, I will really take this opportunity to try my absolute hardest to become the best while I am still living.

While the defiance in "Do not go gentle into that good night" is powerful, the serenity of acceptance resonates with me on a deeper level.

2. The theme of mortality is a universal and timeless subject that captivates human thought.

By delving into these themes, i gain insight into the human condition, fostering empathy and understanding for diverse worldviews.

In conclusion, these poems serve like a gateway to exploring our own beliefs about life and death.

1. I believe I find the literary piece "Go down, Death" , more connective to me. In my view I also agree with the author, we should accept death as it is though not to fully give up, but to let go. He also states of an afterlife, or heaven where we are accepted by God in His kingdom. Though we are not sure of it fully its better to accept the fact that we all die, and it is natural though it still depends on the circumstances. 2. The theme is really important since death is a natural thing, and it can not be stopped. Death is also a very good thing to talk about, since it will help you realize that not everything is so important in life. It also makes you realize how valuable your time really is. It is also a really beautiful topic to talk about, since it talks about your life, and it's end. Like they say "All beautiful things, must come to an end", and it's true. For me I find the theme of death really calming, and soothing, though gloomy sometimes it really is nice to read literary pieces regarding it.

Journal

1. The main point of the two poem is about death. Yes, indeed, it is scary however the two stated that it is true and inevitable. Given those facts, I can say that reading both poem, I realized that I can relate more on Go Down, Death. The 1st part of the poem is more light and relatable because we usually hear some comforting words that when we are dead, we are already in God’s loving arms. They describe the life with our creator after life. With these all stated, I can conclude that the main idea for this reading that the author wants his readers to believe that the death is not something scary. We all should not be afraid about the fact that our bodies will cease to exist after death.

2. The topic that was discussed should be reflected on since death is inevitable. The common fate for everyone is just death. No matter how rich or powerful you are, death will happen to you. Understanding the physical reasons behind a death helps minimize possible confusion and feelings of guilt. Through this, we will be able to enjoy our life. We will be able to love the life of others. They had this cliché line that you only live once so make the most out of it. Reading the 2 poems made me realize that our life is precious. We should fight with all the twists and turns of life. We should make sure that we are living on our best potentials. So if we face death, God will say that it’s a job well done.

1. The two poems actually discussed death in a different manner. This powerful poem of Thomas urges resistance against the inevitable nature of death, encapsulating Thomas’s rich imagery and universal themes. On the other hand, the other poem’s main idea is to enlighten us that death is not scary. Though the to poems discussed death, I have more sympathy on Go Down, Death since the writer written it in a light manner. I was not scared when I read the poem. It was stated that when we are dead we are just resting in our Lord. Since, I had never experienced death, I am certain that it is no longer scary. We are assured that death is life with our Creator and we will no longer fight it back thus we will embrace it with open arms.

2. The topic of the poem should be discussed about and be reflected on since we will all die sooner or later. Death is something that you can escape. Death is the only permanent in this world. All of us will die so we should know and we should be prepared. It may sound scary, but we should not be. We should be ready that anytime, death will just knock at our door, sneak onto our windows and will just visit us anytime in our lifetime. However, if we are all prepared to die, it is not scary at all. We should live our life to the fullest by glorifying God in every step of the ways. If God is the center of our life, we won’t be afraid, after all we will go back to his loving arms. This awareness will make us love our life and living a healthier life.

As dawn broke, a shining light gleamed into the room, I naturally wanted to sleep more but my mind told me to wake up so I did. I first watched YouTube on my iPad, then while watching YouTube, the aroma of freshly cooked bacon lingered in the room. As I ate the bacon, a savory flavor activated my taste buds. Then I would make my way outside in the scorching heat to start training in basketball. After the excruciating training in the scorching heat, I make my way upstairs where the elixir of life calls me. I go ahead and use it, then while feeling refreshed, I would take my first break. Then after my refreshing break, I would train again until lunch comes.

As I wake to my alarm's rough and harsh tones and frequencies, I lay and contemplate what I'd do today. I first sprung out of bed and started with a small workout routine, then I started my usual morning routine. During parts of my routine, I'd further think about what else I would do that day, I would then start doing whatever came to mind one after one—ending my morning with my workout routine based on my schedule for that day.

I had to reluctantly bid farewell to the cocoon of sleep this morning as the first rays of dawn cautiously peeped through the curtains. I groggily made my way from dream to wakefulness, my senses gradually awaking to the gentle melody of a fresh day. I first took an energizing shower to get ready for my cycling training. While pedaling on the tree-lined streets, the gentle cadence of my breathe harmonizes with the whir of the wheels on the pavement. Then after that thrilling ride, I go take another fresh shower, then I satisfy the feeling of being tired while waiting for lunch.

As the light of the shining sun gleamed through the skylight, I rose from my sleep and made my steps across the room. Contemplating on what to do, I arrive at my closet and reached for my clothes. Leaving the room, I start my day with the usual morning routine you'd see in movies. Writing down whatever came to mind, I softly closed my book and left for the day.

[At rise JOSE and SKOT sit at a table, on top of which sits a tray of Pink Hostess Snowballs. JOSE eats a Pink Hostess Snowball while reading SKOT's comic book drawings. SKOT, a bit jittery, watches JOSE read, but checks around every so often to see if anybody is watching them. He does not eat the Pink Hostess Snowballs. Both wear shabby pink clothes. After a few soft vocal "hmms" and "ahhs," JOSE finishes reading. He sets down the drawings. A beat as SKOT gestures impatiently: he's ready to hear what JOSE has to say.)]

JOSE: I don't get it.

SKOT: You don't get it?

JOSE: I don't get it.

SKOT: You don't get it.

JOSE: I don't get it.

SKOT: I don't understand.

JOSE: I don't understand it either.

SKOT: You don't get it? What's to not understand?

JOSE: Well, the whole comic book for one. The drawings are quite good I guess but--

SKOT: Yes?

JOSE: Are you trying to be smart? You're just trying to be smart aren't you-- People don't like a smart-guy-

SKOT: So you don't like it.

JOSE: [Being clear.] I said I don't get it.

SKOT: So getting it means liking it? Hmm.

JOSE: I don't know if I like your questions.

SKOT: Let me try this-- what do you THINK about it. What did you think about the "world" of the strip? Did you like the characters? Would you enjoy being like them? To think like them? Would you like to live like them? What did you think of the new lives I've created?

JOSE: Listen Mr. Smarty, I don't want to think about it. I want to get it. Like that new Pink Fancy movie! "Life with Pink Fancy?" Now that was a good story. Entertaining. I didn't have to think about that.

SKOT: But! Did you get it?

JOSE: "Life with Pink Fancy?" What's there to get? Pink Fancy is great!

SKOT: Then what was it about?

JOSE: What?

SKOT: What was it about? What was it trying to say? Did it propose any questions? Did it suggest any answers? Did it give any alternatives to living life?! Like my comic book?!!

JOSE: Well of course not! It was about Pink Fancy! And his many lovable adventures! Pink is great. Pink is funny and charming. Like in "Life with Pink Fancy?" When he fell down and crashed into those stacked cans of Pink Fancy? Ha! Isn't life like that? Isn't life like the many adventures of Pink Fancy? I think it's because Pink is just like us. I feel that if I saw him right now I could say "Hi Pink!" And he'd say "Hi" right back to me. Did you know "Life with Pink Fancy" was the number one movie for 37 weeks and grossed more money than any other movie ever in the whole millennium and Pink Fancy is like the most sought after movie star in the whole world? Why aren't you eating your Pink Fancy balls?

SKOT: [Looking up from having his head in his hands.] Look, there is life beyond Pink Fancy, like my comic book...

JOSE: You should draw a Pink Fancy story, that's what you should do! Everybody loves a good old-fashioned Pink Fancy story. Like the Pink Fancy Show on TV? Last night I swear it was just like real life. Like my life. Like right now! Pink and his friend weren't understanding each other and then they ate their Pink Fancy Balls and everything turned out just fine, you know?

SKOT: No. [A look from Jose.] I mean I know about it, but I didn't watch it--

JOSE: What's wrong with you today? Why aren't you eating your Pink Fancy Balls?

SKOT: [Stands.] I've given up the Pink Fancy my friend. [He begins taking off his Pink clothes, revealing white clothing underneath.]

JOSE: Ha! Given up the Pink Fancy? What would you talk about? How are you supposed to communicate with anybody? We could never have a conversation! [Sees what he's wearing.] Why are you wearing white? Where's your Pink clothing? Your Pink hat? Your basketball shoes-- Wait! You're not eating your Pink Fancy Balls!

SKOT: That's right.

JOSE: Oh my God! [Realization.] Pink Fancy wasn't in your comic book! You have given up the Pink Fancy!

SKOT: Now do you get it!?

JOSE: But, but, but,- you said you heard about last night's episode-- I mean you still know what happened right?

SKOT: Well sure, it was advertised like every five minutes...

JOSE: [Relaxing.] Whew! Good for you.

SKOT: How could I get away from Pink's guerilla marketing?

JOSE: You should thank god for such mass media. You can at least function.

SKOT: [Sudden realization:] Oh no. You're right. I DO know what happened in last night's episode. Even if I don't watch the Pink Fancy Show I still know what happens. I bet I could even get everyone to think I saw the Pink Fancy when I really didn't!

JOSE: There you go!

SKOT: No! [A beat.] I wanted to do this gradually, but now it becomes clear that I must take action immediately! [He takes out a pack of White Hostess Snowballs and throws a fist in the air.] Down with the Pink Fancy! Long live the White Glorioso!

JOSE: What are you-

SKOT: I have created a new icon with my comic book. [Picks up comic drawings.] Joe White, the White Glorioso! Come with me my friend. Get out of the Pink Fancy rut your in! [Holds the Snowball in his face.] Have a White Glorious Ball.

JOSE: I don't get it.

SKOT: It's a life underground! A new underground movement! Will you come with me? A new culture without the Pink fancy!

JOSE: Life without Pink Fancy? [A beat.] Who else is coming?

SKOT: What do you mean who-

JOSE: Anybody I know?

SKOT: Well there's only a few who have read the comic-

JOSE: Who? Anybody famous?

SKOT: Well-

JOSE: Have you gotten any funding? Grants?

SKOT: What?

JOSE: Any corporate sponsorship?

SKOT: What? Absolutely not!

JOSE: This sounds like a very un-organized underground movement to me.

SKOT: That's what the White Glorioso movement is all about! My stories will never be enlightening-they will tell the truth. Joe will forever spend his days fighting the evil corporate conglomerate that is the Pink Fancy. No one outside the movement will ever get my stories even though they will want to and that will drive them mad and insane! They will have to think about my stories and they will hate me! My stories will be so convoluted and incredibly strange and follow such inane logic that even the most intelligent professors from the most prestigious Pink Universities will throw up their hands in complete and utter disgust!

[Throughout the previous speech, BROWN has entered surreptitiously. BROWN wears brown. BROWN carries Hostess Mini Chocolate Doughnuts.]

BROWN: Psst.

SKOT: Who's there?

BROWN: Psst.

SKOT: Yes? Can I help you?

BROWN: [Coming forward, bowing.] Down with the Pink Fancy!

SKOT: What?

BROWN: Long live the White Glorioso!

SKOT: [To Jose:] See? A follower.

BROWN: Oh great leader of the Joe White Movement-your comic book writings have spread far and wide!

SKOT: Already!

BROWN: In my search to find you I have come many miles, over long terrain from a great city far away!

SKOT: Really? Where have you come?

BROWN: Cleveland. I have come to give you good news from Cleveland!

SKOT: Wait! If you are with the White Glorioso movement, why are you wearing brown and carrying chocolate doughnuts?

BROWN: You are very wise oh great one. My outfit correlates with my good news! To help support Joe White's great crusade against the evil Pink Fancy- [Holding up doughnuts.]- we have found a corporate sponsor!

SKOT: A what?

BROWN: A corporate sponsor. Mini Chocolate Doughnuts!

SKOT: No! No! No sponsors!

BROWN: But we thought that is what you-

SKOT: That is exactly the opposite of what I-didn't you read the comic?

BROWN: We did! And we came to understand, from your strange, cryptic, unusual stories that no one understands,--that this is what you wished!

SKOT: Dress in brown and eat brown chocolate doughnuts!!? Why would you think I would want that?!

JOSE: [To Brown:] It's okay baby-I didn't get the damn thing either.

BROWN: Here. [Grabs the comic, opens it up and points to a page.] There. See that right there?

SKOT: What.

BROWN: There.

SKOT: Where?

BROWN: There.

SKOT: That?

BROWN: Yes!

SKOT: It's the letter B.

BROWN: Exactly your supreme-ness! It is the most used consonant of all your letters! There must be about fifteen Bs on this page alone-they're everywhere! We felt we had finally deciphered your prose!

SKOT: How's that?

BROWN: B. Brown. Brown... Not white. Brown must mean the White Glorioso is in fact a prophet, a John the Baptist if you will, for the forthcoming savior-the Brown Belligerent! And he will burst forth upon the millennium and finally put an end to the evil and petulant conglomerate that is the Pink Fancy! [She grabs Jose's Pink Fancy Ball.]

JOSE: Back off! [Jose grabs it back and stuffs it in his mouth.]

BROWN: Hostess Mini Chocolate Doughnuts liked the idea and sponsored us. With your okay they can begin sewing their logo on our jumpers.

SKOT: No.

BROWN: No? No what? You don't want the sponsorship?

SKOT: No.

BROWN: You don't want the doughnuts?

SKOT: No.

BROWN: What- you mean we deciphered your comic incorrectly?

SKOT: Yes.

BROWN: Oh god. [A beat. Sits.] Well then I guess I don't get it. [Begins to cry.]

JOSE: [Comforting.] Oh it's all right honey.

BROWN: Now what am I supposed to do with all these doughnuts?

JOSE: Well I'd like to help you out-but I'm lactose intolerant. I so much as look at a doughnut and I get gas.

BROWN: I'm sorry. [Recovers, crosses to Skot:] We really believed in you. We did. I enjoyed your comic. But, I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry. [Starts to leave.]

SKOT: Wait, wait a minute. [A beat.] Give me a doughnut. [A beat.] Give me one. [Takes and eats.] Mmm. Not bad. What's your name again?

BROWN: Brown. We're all named Brown in Cleveland. We can change that...

SKOT: No! No, Brown, you did good. You're a good kid. And because of you I've decided to expand operations.

BROWN: Really? Because of me?

SKOT: That's right. We're going to branch out. We'll call it-- The Brown Initiative.

BROWN: What's that mean?

SKOT: One word Brown. One word. Olympics. I've decided we will be the Official Underground Movement of the upcoming Olympic Games. From there? We'll have a clothing line, a web page, a McDonalds tie-in-we'll even sponsor our own Bowl Game! Then we're going to put a White Glorioso sitcom on the air exactly opposite The Pink Fancy Show and drive their ratings into the ground!

BROWN: Can we have a screen saver?

SKOT: Heck, one day Brown, we'll watch our stock rise to a 250 dollars a share and then level out at 135.

BROWN: So we were right about what your comic book world means oh great one?

SKOT: If that's what you want it to mean... [BROWN nods their head.] Then I guess that's what it means. Now run along.

[BROWN starts to exit then stops and turns.]

BROWN: [Fist in the air.] Down with the Pink Fancy!

[SKOT raises his fist in response. JOSE intuitively raises his as well. BROWN runs off. They stand with their fists raised for a second, and then nonchalantly bring them down.]

JOSE: [Sitting.] Well, I've made my decision and, I'm sorry-- I don't think I can join your underground movement.

SKOT: I think I've made my decision as well.

JOSE: It's a little too commercial. Too mainstream for my tastes.

SKOT: [Looking at his comic book.] Yea. Right. Me too. [He begins to rip up the comic book.]

JOSE: What are you doing? What happened to your underground movement?

SKOT: Sorry, I guess I'm just not one to follow a crowd.

JOSE: I don't get you.

SKOT: Don't worry. [Points to his head.] It's still up here. It's still all up here. [He sits.]

[SKOT picks up a Pink Fancy Snowball. Looks at it for a moment. And then bites into it.]

JOSE: [To audience:] I don't get it. I just don't get it.

SKOT: Maybe we're not supposed to.

[JOSE and SKOT eat their Pink Hostess Snowballs. This should take as long as it needs to take. The longer in fact the better. There should be at least ten Pink Hostess Snowballs on the platter and they should eat them all in total silence. When they are finished they sit back in their chairs. After a beat a new platter is brought out and placed on the table. They begin eating those as well... as lights FADE TO BLACK.]

The story talks about going down with a certain item or thing, the incident itself seems to be the issue with miscommunication and the arguments with the characters themselves.  The characters in the story are Jose, Skot, and Brown. It takes place in one setting; the setting seems to just be in a bedroom or a room in general and about a comic Skot created. There is action taken later in the story after Brown comes into the story. At first Skot seems confused. Then angry because Brown misunderstood. After a while they seemed to agree in their own terms and ways and in the end just go with what they want or think.
