Reaction: "To Hell with Dying" by: Alice Walker

Awwwww, It's such a cute, sad and gorgeous story. We humans fear death so much because we don't know it and we don't have a concrete thought about what it is.

It's a very interesting story, and is really well narrated. I could imagine all that she was saying even Mr. Sweet, such a great man, with flaws like anyone, but with a great heart. The way when she was a child she used to play with him and all the memories and smells that reminded her of him, it's a really fun way to describe someone.

There are a lot of elements in this story, one of them is the love that Mr. Sweet had for his wife, a love so strong that he even felt like dying when he remembered that she was not there with him anymore. All those times that he nearly died because of the pain that he felted,a pain so real that made him fee like he was dying and looking like that too. How the way that Alice jumping and playig with him gave him life again.

The most wonderful part of the story is at the end, when Mr. Sweet is lying there in his final moments and he rolls his finger through her face like when she was a child and then with a smile on his face he dies. She can't believe it because he would never really die, but this time was true. She looked at her parents, with their eyes full of tears, and she realized that Mr. Sweet was her fisrt love. HOW CUTE IS THAT !!!! Love in a pure way, love like the feeling that one gets when we admire, respect and love someone just as they are. Pure and Simple.
