Both holidays are centered around death, and both are influenced by each particular country's view on death. I have included below two poems about death that were written by one of my ninth grade students, Federico Berrueto. It is our shadow. It will always be with us, And when we no longer have it, We go to the light. And nothing will keep it away.
Death is a way of seeing life.
She is dead As cold as stone. The day she left us. The day he leaves me. The day I leave you. We would like to hear from you .
