Death

During my whole life I have been listening to some different points of view about death. 
The one that I heard the most from the mayority of people is that is the end of physical life and then paradise comes if you were good while alive. I thought a lot about this, wondering if that was true, but is a fact that no one can prove because how could it be posible to go to heaven and then come back to visit earth? Who was going to prefer all earth stuffs instead of heaven?
Then, after knowing that believing, I heard another person talking about reincarnation. This was about living many lives in different historical times. Supposedly there were people that hipnotize you and could saw your past life experiences, the ways you died and your relationships with the actual people that surround you. I think that this is the most interesting way of seeng death because it implies that you continue working in whatever you are good for, intead of dying and resting the whole eternity.
Nevertheless, no one knows what death is about of while they are alive. The unique answer is coming when we die.

Conclusions

What I liked the most about this unit, was the end ok the book. This end was really wasome! I did´t imagine that Gatsby was going to die and less by being killed by Wilson.Nevertheless, I didn´t like the book that much, I think that it was boring at some parts.
Also, I like the assiangment of watching Midnight in Paris because it is a great film when we can connect to the experience of the character at the moment he traveled in time. This happens because more than once we want to see new things and costumes, so our imagination can take us to a place where time is not a problem.

In conclusion, I think this was an interesting unit and I hope the other books to be good.
