The relationship between life and death has been an important part of literature for just about all of human history. One of the earliest recorded pieces of literature is the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, which centers around Gilgamesh’s desire to bring his friend Enkidu back from the dead. Different writers have had different perspectives on death, of course, and while the writer of Gilgamesh’s tale might have seen death as something inevitable, death seemed almost welcome to Plath. The fact that her father died while she was young left her without much of a sense of security,

I turned around wondering where the hell I was going

Parties are no doubt an integral part of the average undergraduate student. While I fall in this bracket, I am the undisputed champion of putting together awesome surprise parties of whatever kind, especially birthday parties.

I went to a Chinese gathering wherein there are some Asians, mostly Chinese men and women and they are celebrating the birthday of one of their colleagues.

The foods they have prepared are mostly sautéed meals and they have some forms of rice puddings as desserts. I like the way that there were incenses in one corner of the house
