Yes, in one way, the essay makes you think of the strength of human spirit when it endures severe situations.

James Baldwin “Notes of a Native Son” refers to racial issues in America. The topic of the story shows how Baldwin goes through a cycle of events. He contemplates the death of his stepfather, his youngest sister’s birth, his nineteenth birthday, and race problems in Harlem. The events and the way they presented makes Baldwin wonder about the spirit of human nature and what it needs to endure to live by.  

Baldwin explores the bitterness and suffering of black Americans while remembering his father’s mental health. Baldwin thinks he can inherit the paranoia that affected his father and questions himself the way trauma is passed through generations.

Answer:

It sustains the comparison of death to night.

Explanation:

The excerpt from Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" illustrates the theme of death. The speaker is distressed by his father's deteriorating health and urges his father to struggle with death. He suggests that there is no bravery in crying. He says those who would survive would see the brightness and goodness of life which only comes from fighting against death.

<em>The words "night", "close of day", "dying of the light", and "dark" sustains the connotation of comparison of death to night. However, he elaborates on the inevitability of death yet encourages the old people to stand up against the fierce nature of death. </em>He attempts to convey a strong message that "do not go gentle into that good night" and suggests that one should never fear death and realize the meaning of life before giving their consent to mortality(death).
