Getting information out of them for this paper was a bit of a task, but I got a lot of interesting information out of them. I interviewed my mom, dad, step-dad, and uncle Gordon for this paper. I knew a lot about the deaths on my mother’s side since we have talked about death before together, but I was delighted to get the opportunity to learn more about the deaths in my dad’s

I begin with a sunset, as in the poem the sunset is a metaphor for death. I have myself waking up and realizing it was dark as though I am realizing I am close to death.
