Response to Literature

I thought that the theme for both Final Salute by Jim Sheeler and Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas was that you can never go down without a fight even though you cannot control your destiny. This is found in the Final Salute from the way Katherine Cathey fought her way through her emotional road of her husband's passing. In the poem, Do not go gentle into that good night, the theme is evident throughout the poem of not letting yourself leave without a fight. This particular lesson can be applicable to anyone. It should be the way we use this lesson that will make it beneficial.
