In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.
The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>

Though his works made him famous, he said that those honors are a burden because he would rather like that his sister Tsiporah stayed alive, that Holocaust did not happen and book left unwritten.
Artie Spiegelman used his father Vladek`s vivid memories for writing <em>Maus. </em>He made hours and hours of interviews which included prewar, war and after war period.

In that time they had a young son Richie who they sent to a different ghetto to be with his aunt, but after she found out about sending them to the camp, she pois oned her children, Richie and herself. After the war, Anja was deeply disturbed and she committed sui cide. Vladek continued his life, but haunted by terrible past.
