Blog Entry 8 ( under revision)

    The theme for the poem " Do not go Gentle into that Goodnight" I think the poem focus on life and death. Also how even if you feel your end is near you can fight to see another day. Don't let death doesn't consume you almost saying death doesn't have to be your only option. In the first stanza first sentence it says " Do not go gentle into that goodnight". Goodnight would symbolize death which is metaphor and do not gentle would be don't be kind when it comes to death. "Old age should burn and rare of closed of day". Which means just because your getting old doesn't mean you have to accept death. "Rage, rage against the dying of the light", rage means to be angry and violent of therefore that sentence would mean fight to stay alive to see another day.

    In each stanza the author talks about four different groups of men. All the men are different but should fight for more time to be alive. They shouldn't give in to death no matter what they experiences are . One of symbolism I saw in the poem would be imagery. In the third stanza it says " Good men, the last wave ,crying how bright, their frail deeds might have dances in a green bay ,rage, rage against the dying  of the light". You can imagine the good men crying and the dying of night would can also symbolize the men giving up because the light is suppose to be life. Another imagery would be "rage,rage against the dying the light" you picture the men being furious and wanting to fight.

    It seems as if the author is really speaking about his father. Who is most likely dying or sick and he doesn't want his father to give up. In the sixth stanza it says " and you, my father there on the sad height, curse,bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray do not go gentle into the night"The author father is fighting death with his "fierce tears" and once again . The author doesn't want his father to give up.

  The Archetype that I chose is the destroyer, out of all the archetypes this one confuses me the most still after reading about it I don't fully understand.  The story was Hun and his twin sons talk about death. I don't understand the overall meaning of the story but I know for sure it talks about death. The characteristics of a Destroyer is there to help people to let go and move on from loss of death. The Destroyer surprisingly does good to your life they re organizing things in their life and removing things that aren't good for you.

    It kind of reminds me of the angel of death; Which is someone who comes to people who are dying and shows them their mistakes or their future if they don't fix their mistakes. I think of the movie click which about a guy who is always worried about work oppose to spending time with his family. The angel of death gives him a remote were he can remind of fast forward his life so he doesn't have to experience anything he can just go past it. But what he doesn't realize is he misses everything and regret of a lot of choices he makes the angel of death shows him hoping it will scare him into making things right therefore it can change his future which he saw and didn't like.
    

    At first what confused me about the Destroyer is what is really about because when I read about I assume it's about letting go of the bad to reinvent your self now that you dealt with a loss. But it also talks about outlaws which at first came to my mind as a bad thing. But really it's about breaking rules to help other or risking your life to help others which I consider to be a good thing.
