***Here is my thesis statement and summary:
THESIS STATEMENT: The Victorian lyric poem Break, Break, Break by Lord Alfred Tennyson and the poem Do Not Go Gently into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas share the common theme of death, yet depict the impact of death on each individual in very different ways.
MY SUMMARY: In the poem by Tennyson, the death of his friend had basically immobilized him with grief. He is frustrated with his inability to express the depth and magnitude of his sadness which has led him to become isolated. On the other hand, author Thomas defiantly challenges death and urges his father to fight his impending death and to resist it to the very end. He is passionately expressing to his dying father and anyone who is listening to have a more dynamic attitude toward dying with a kind of “Carpe diem” tone. The two poems show quite a stark contrast in the way we as human beings allow the inevitability of death to impact us and our reactions to it.
