The poem is a tribute to an athlete who died at a young age. The narrator proposes that it may be better to die young, when you are at the peak of your life, than to die at an old age, when the memory of your achievements has faded.

Although the poem is about an athlete, it targets a general audience. All readers can relate to the idea of young people having moments of glory or achievement. The poem’s theme of the fading memory of accomplishments is also something many readers can understand, even if they have not participated in athletics.

In my opinion it relates to athletes only because it talks about winning victory and then at the end of the poem it explains how you will soon be forgotten by saying "the name died before the man."

Can be students allowed to have pets on School? Yes or no? I chose no and I wan't to have 21 sentences why no. Thanks :)
zzz [600]
No, students shouldn't be allowed to have pets at school. Though many students love the thought of pets by their sides, it can be a distraction and many students that have allergies to pets. Imagine sitting in a classroom taking a test, and pets start going crazy, barking or causing a scene. Or students rubbing their eyes or sneezing at the shedding of fur. Students could also start playing with their pets and become distratced from their teachers. In conclusion, students may love pets at their side and may think it would be better, but in the end it would be a pretty bad idea.
