You are the 13th child born into a very poor family. Your father is searching for a godfather. He finds one and his name is Death. He said that he treats everyone equally and that he would make this child very rich. This is from a story called “Godfather Death”. “Godfather Death” is a tragedy and the ending with the cave of candles has a purpose worth explaining.

The tragedy plotline of “Godfather Death” starts out with the world being in chaos. Rise to power is when the father finds a godfather and the child becomes a rich doctor. The tragic flaw would be when the doctor uses the herb on someone he should not have. Tragic fall is when the doctor uses the herb again on a person he should not have and Death brought him down to an underground cave filled with candles. The death symbolism or loss of sanity ending is when the doctor dies because Death knocked his candle over and it went out.

The cave in the end of “Godfather Death” is filled with candles. Each and every candle represents a person’s life. A tall candle is for young children, a medium size is for adults, and the shorter candles are for older people. The doctor asked Death what his candle was like and Death pointed to his candle. It was a small candle because he was going to die. When the light goes out they die. Death is the controller of the candles and if something happens like if he knocks one over that person dies.

In conclusion, “Godfather Death” is a tragedy story and the cave of candles has a purpose worth explaining. Death is in control of the cave and decides whether who lives and who dies. Death is the grim reaper, the skeleton with the black robe.

Dead Men's Path

You are the headmaster of a school and a man is coming next week to inspect the school. You have beautiful flowers all around the campus. You are completely ready for this visit... except for the path that leads to the graveyard on the other side of the school. This is from a story called "Dead Men’s Path". The plotline in this story is a tragedy and the title means something important.

The plotline in "Dead Men’s Path" is a tragedy and has a big part. The plotline of the story and the plotline of a tragedy are the same. First it starts with a minor conflict, in the story it starts out with Obi being the headmaster and his wife being mad that all of the teachers did not have wives. The second thing is the rise to power, the rise to power in the story is when they grow all of the flowers and the school looks spectacular. Third is the tragic flaw, the tragic flaw is when Obi closes the path to the graveyard. Fourth is the tragic fall which is when someone dies and they need to get through that path. The people break through the barricade and rip up the flowers making the campus a disaster. Fifth and last is the death symbolism and that is when the man comes to inspect the school and the campus was a mess.

The title "Dead Men’s Path" has an important meaning that has to do with the book. The path in the title resembles the path in the campus. Because it is called Dead Men’s Path it means that the path in the campus in the Dead Men’s Path. It leads people to loved ones graves. If you close the path bad things will happen because of the campus situation where all of the flowers were destroyed. The people in the town relies on this path because of their dead relatives.

In conclusion, "Dead Men’s Path" had a very well developed and informational title and has a plotline of a tragedy. I think that Obi was being very selfish because he would not let the villagers go through the path to visit their dead relatives. Obi deserved what he got and I do not think that the towns people should have done anything different.
