The poem “Old Couple” by Charles Simic uses diction and symbolism to show the idea that there are two ways of viewing death. The one that the unreliable speaker gives is that death is unavoidable and only brings pain. The other is the view that is developed from what the couple is actually doing which seems to be that death is peaceful and it is best to go through it with a love one. The poem starts off with the narrator describing the observations being made of an old couple. The narrator makes

alleged violation of human rights. It is supposed murder. To be true and not let slip of any otherwise different opinion, I will say that euthanasia is murder. And that is exactly what confuses the majority of the world. To put one out of misery, either animal or human, would be merciful, but still killing, to which I respond with a very open minded and open hearted approval.

I think “Two Friends” is more realistic. First of all, the genre of “Damon and Pythias” is a legend, and it has been retold a lot of times. Since “Damon and Pythias” has been retold by a lot of people, the story might change because it has been told orally; therefore, people may not remember the exact details of the story. The background of “Two Friends” is the Franco-Prussian war. The Franco-Prussian war was an actual event. Therefore, it makes the story more realistic. The two friends have similar

placebo effect." Modern science has further problems with acupuncture as Bausell (page106) goes onto state "But if the primary biochemical explanation for how these little needles reduce pain involves an unmeasurable energy force surging through some unobservable meridians with no documented connection to pain or anything else, then most members of the scientific community will have a difficult time believing these positive results."

Even though these are different questions, they are connected; we see in The Giver and in Fahrenheit 451 that pain is necessary to experience true pleasure and to then truly understand the world.
