Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. –"Do not go gentle into that good night," Dylan Thomas Which statement best expresses the theme of the poem? Death is inevitable, so there is no point in trying to resist it. The cruelty of death is that we do not know when it will happen. No matter what, it is important to struggle to stay alive.

Answer:

But more specifically, Thomas' poem tells people to "not go gentle" into death. Here, the word "gentle" means "docile," or passive and without resistance. in other words, Thomas tells readers they should not accept death passively, but instead should fight (or "rage") against it ("the dying of the light").

4. What do these following slogan mean?
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

The word Hustler is actually a word usually used by Nigerians

Hustler is one who differs all odds just to make a living or make little money for survival. We all look for money but just that some people go extreme or work harder for it.

A quitter is one who stops chasing his or her dreams after exhaustion but one who never quits will definitely go through all odds like the quitter but has the courage to continue and will surely make it or win.

We all ordinary people, but those who work harder aren't they excel.

I hope it helps out.
