Blog 3: Tones and Symbolism

I have chosen this outstanding poem "Death Alone" by Pablo Neruda because its saddly content of death makes me think about the other side of the coin.. This writter was born Parral, Chile. He studied in Santiago in the twenties. From 1927 to 1945 he was the Chilean consul in Rangoon, in Java, and then in Barcelona. He joined the Communist Party after the Second World War. Also, I chose this poem because it connects me with supernatural things which is the main topic of 102 ENG class.
Tone is a method of expression of felings and emotions that a writer use it in order to convey through its writting to readers.
Moreover, the tone in this poem applied by Pablo Neruda reflects his sadness and lonelyness related to death. In fact, his pain is to meet the other side of the coin when somebody is alive.
Symbolism is a way of appling symbols to describe things according to writer's topic. The symbolism in this poem have many signals that have relationship with feelings, places and things. All these signals of death are very impotant in the written description of the poem because it help readers to have a wide inmagination of things.
In conclusion, this poem tell readers about how much valious is life because when somebody is alive everything is fantastic, but when a human being died everything turns glommy. Thus, I believe that human beings have enjoy life to the maximun. It means having a great respect to life because there is only one.
