Death Unit 5

     Death, be not proud by John Donne really made me think.  I came to the conclusion that death is just like a short sleep and when people wake up, they awake into eternal life.  Once this happens then death does not exist anymore, death died.  It is said that "one short sleep passes, we wake eternally..." (972).  This is interesting to think about because I never really thought about death in this way. In a way I guess that death dies, and at some point I am not dead anymore.  It is kind of a hard concept for me to wrap my head around, but I do understand it as best I can.  I am just wondering that after people wake in eternal life, are they not considered dead anymore?  Donne did a great job in making me think more after I read this poem.  It made me look at death in a different way.
