Uncle tea- Birju awakened me with a hot tea
Oh Thanks Birju, what is the time- I asked him while sipping the tea
Almost 8 am in the morning Uncle- he replied
Oh, I have to go to Cemetery and if you want to come with me than get ready- I told him and I got up and started preparing for the day. We came back from the cemetery in the afternoon and played cricket with Birju and his friends. I cooked food for them and we have grand dinner at my house with his friends and everyone was very happy. This was a fun evening and we together enjoyed and I looked at Birju’s face which was now enlightened with happiness.
I could see a pleasant transformation in Birju and he was feeling safe and secure under my protection and care. I felt glad for these small …show more content…

So many graves have settled here and I know the names of their occupants and wondered what there life had been before the death. Now most of the grave have no visitors and for them I become their family member, clean them and wash them and paint them and during the Christmas, a white rose from my garden is put up on their tomb. White wooden crosses were mostly broken and it was also eaten by louse so during the Madam Paddy’s time we decided to put up solid iron cross on the tombstone and painted it whenever we feel it was losing paint and its beauty, but few wooden crosses were still their on some tombs. I feel their soul was resting their peacefully. Cemetery is my best place for lunch and whenever I eat my food I always think about some dead people and about their near and dear …show more content…

While walking through rows of graves I felt their thankful gazes on my back.
Since Sandara birthday would be falling on next Thursday, I decided to visit Premnagar cemetery and pray for her.
I saw Birju was busy playing cricket with his friends, I waved my hands towards them and moved my bicycle towards the cemetery.
Today we have decided to put Head stone on her grave, Binny told me that he is arranging a mason for this job. Neither Binny nor the mason was present and I started looking all over the cemetery if they were working on any other grave but they were not there. I waited for half hour and then I decided to build the grave by my own and I walked over to Sandara’s grave and looked how serene is her grave like her. I started digging from her head side, I heard someone called me “Adam”
I thought it might be Binny, I turned my head and looked and saw beautiful Sandara wearing red costume and blue scarf on her head, She looked modest and smiled looking at my face and dirty hands with mud
So you are decorating me- she asked with a broad smile on her face
Yeah- I

  • Summary Of The Scarlet Ibis By James Hurst

    254 Words  | 2 Pages

    “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst is a short story about a man looking back on his childhood experiences with his little brother, Doodle. The author uses symbols related to death to affect the tone. The words death and dead are used nine times and subjects related to death seems to sneak into the narrative very often. For example, when naming their son, the protagonist’s parents decide on the name William Armstrong. The narrator says that “such a name sounds good only on a tombstone” (Hurst 1).

    One last memorial that I saw in the “Cremation Garden”, that stood out to me was a man named “Emil Kranzler” who’s plaque said “I’m Off to See the Wizard”. I researched Emil Kranzler and found that he played the role of a munchkin in the original Wizard of Oz movie (Find a Grave). Just by observing the grave markers and memorials located within this cemetery, I learned so much about so many of the people who are buried there. While I learned a lot about the people buried there, I also learned a bit about the living people who visit the cemetery. Almost all of the graves appeared as though they had been visited fairly recently, with some

  • Rituals In Steven Herrick's By The River

    One of the main ways that the characters cope with loss (death in particular.) is having rituals to respect the ones that they lost. After the loss of the Harrys mother the rest of the family goes to the cemetery on “the first Sunday of every month" and visit her grave. Harry and Keith’s “dad pulls weeds and sweeps cleans the marble". Another example of this would be how harry and "the ghost of the swamp" (who is later discovered as Johnny Barlow) visit Linda’s cross in the pierce swamp and leave small tokens such as a locket and "silver ring with sapphire glass" harry likes to "tend the daises" around Linda’s cross . These rituals help each of the characters to overcome the loss of a loved one in various ways.

    But nobody knows what’s going on inside the preparation room, all they see is their deceased relative, good as new, when they walk by the open casket during the funeral. Mitford depicts the American funeral industry’s manipulation of death throughout the essay with either blatant or thinly-veiled verbal irony. In the last paragraph, Mitford states that the funeral director has put on a “well-oiled performance" where "the concept of death played no part whatsoever”, unless providing it was “inconsiderately mentioned” by the funeral conductors. This is extremely ironic because a funeral is supposed to revolved around death, and this makes us think about funerals and the embalmment process in a way that we usually don’t. These processes takes away the cruelty and brutality of death and make it seem trivial while making our deceased relatives life-like, with pink toned skin and a smile on their face, and death is not like that at all.

    The details of the wedding ceremony suggest a lot of information about the communication style that is taking place throughout the ceremony. One type of information that is demonstrated throughout the ceremony is the idea of the Hindu religion being part of a high context culture. High context cultures are cultures that do not explicitly transmit message but instead meaning is implied by the environment (Lustig & Koester, 2013). The Hindu wedding ceremony is full of these indirect messages that are common with the high context culture. First there are a lot of symbols used in the wedding ceremony.

In preparation for these days, families may clean their homes to welcome the arrival of the souls of their loved ones. Many people also visit cemeteries to decorate the graves of the dead with their favorite items and flowers. Graves and ofrendas are decorated with papel picado, photographs, cherished objects, marigolds (cempasúchitl), and skeletons made of paper or clay. Food and drink are placed on the ofrendas for the dead – people commonly believe that they can still enjoy the tastes and smells.

  • Funeral Blues And Remember Analysis

    1774 Words  | 8 Pages

    The attitudes to grief over the loss of a loved one are presented in two thoroughly different ways in the two poems of ‘Funeral Blues’ and ‘Remember’. Some differences include the tone towards death as ‘Funeral Blues’ was written with a more mocking, sarcastic tone towards death and grieving the loss of a loved one, (even though it was later interpreted as a genuine expression of grief after the movie “Four Weddings and a Funeral” in 1994), whereas ‘Remember’ has a more sincere and heartfelt tone towards death. In addition, ‘Funeral Blues’ is entirely negative towards death not only forbidding themselves from moving on but also forbidding the world from moving on after the tragic passing of the loved one, whilst ‘Remember’ gives the griever

  • Ethnography Of A Wedding Ceremony In North American Culture

    Ceremony Ethnography In North American culture, weddings are usually a lavish celebration of joining two families. Recently, at a wedding I attended with my family, I noticed many things about the role of music in the wedding ceremony. Usually weddings are composed of a ceremony, with a reception or celebration afterwards. In this wedding, there was a limited role of music in the actual ceremony (other than the bridal procession/ “Here Comes the Bride” and when the newlyweds exited at the end of the wedding), however the role of music was more substantial in the wedding reception (in which there was celebratory music and dancing).

    As we passed countless graves, I was amused by the fact that people still held onto the materialistic things even when they cannot make use of it anymore. Some graves were bigger than others, always maintained by the staff and located at the auspicious spots; water in front of the grave, mountain behind and luxuriant plants around, to show that they and their descendants were wealthy enough that their resting places will be as luxurious as the days they were alive. But a few were neglected, the white stone was dirty and the grass on the hills was dead, not a green can be
