A Farewell to Arms
Death is just part of life, it is everywhere. Wherever you go something or someone is dying. It is truly the one thing as human beings that we cannot stop, even as hard as we try death will come. Eventually, everybody will die, the only question is when will we die. In the book "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway, he uses death nonstop, from symbolizing death or through an incident. Hemingway symbolizes death through a rain of things. Whenever it is raining it usually is telling that some is dying of thinking of death. For example, Catherine is telling Fredrick why she is so afraid of the rain, " I'm afraid of the rain because sometimes I see me dead in it." Also, "And sometimes I see you dead in it" (126). The rain symbolizes death cause the only thing Catherine can see in the rain is Fredrick and herself in it. To many people in the world rain is brings death, from floodings, hurricanes and sometimes tornadoes. So one can see how she can be afraid of rain.

She was unconscious all the time, and it did not take her very long to die" (331). Before Catherine had died her son had died to.
