This image which I got from flickr by fesign is related to my discussion because it shows how grim death appears and how it cannot be stopped.  This image shows the death of eve who is considered as the first woman God created.  It is relevant because it shows how the first human that God had created with Adam had died for their sin of trying to become like God and living forever.

I wanted to know what in this pictures provokes you thinking that death cannot be stopped. I agree somewhat but, I don't see that message in this picture.

Does this mean that when you die you expect it to be "grim" ? What kind of death, in your opinion, would be "grim" ? Do you think when a point in life is "grim" you will die?

I really like the picture because its is dark and gives the impression that death is a tragic or terrifying experience. I also thought it was interesting how you used a religious figure. In this religion that is being portrayed through the identity of the woman lying, believes when you die you have they chance of going to heaven, a sort of Utopia. But because of her sins the painter used dark colors showing that she died a tragic death.

Dear Elisavet :

I enjoyed your post, "When will I die? Part 2," because you included an interesting picture. I think it's cool how you included Eve, the first woman that God created. I wouldn't expect someone to have a picture of this.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "This image which I got from flickr by fesign is related to my discussion because it shows how grim death appears and how it cannot be stopped." I think this is interesting because you explored a similar idea that I did. I have created a similar topic and talk about how death cannot be stopped.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because we are studying a similar topic. I think see what we agree and disagree on.
