Introduction: we began to do this assignment in November 2013. The purpose of writing this assignment was to understand what is death and dying; what’s the different between them and what I know from them.
Reflection: I thought the hardest part of writing this assignment was to understand the meaning of death and dying. In my life, I didn’t really think about them before. The part I did good was I asked many people’s ideas about them. If I had to do this assignment again, I might change a topic to think about. Death and dying were too deep for me to understand. I learned how important our life was from this assignment.

Death can make you feel afraid, but it also teaches you to cherish your time. You can do the things that you want to do but you haven’t done. You can stay with your family and talk with them. After you die, you will live in people’ heart, your spirit will go on. So don’t be afraid that death is ending.

There is one topic that gives me a deep memory that is talk about our culture. I always follow the “popular”. My classmates like to play games so I play them too. Although I didn’t like them, I still do them. In this book I knew that sometimes our culture is not right, but it is difficult for us to reject it. So I just need to do myself.

Your mind never disappears. Although we always said that after we die we can’t think, it doesn’t means our mean disappear.
Part IV: Reflections on My Search
What did I learn through the process of writing this paper?
Death is a difficult and serious topic. In fact, nobody can say that he/she really understand it. Some people fear death because they don’t know what happen after people die. Unknown always can arouse people’s fear. But if you have a clear conscience, you know yourself clearly. Then you don’t need to fear. You need to catch now. Don’t make yourself regret. Then whatever you have to face after you die, it can’t hurt you.
What surprised me the most?
Some people don’t want to keep their memory after they die. I am really surprise about that. I think if you lose your memory, then you are not the original you. If I can, I hope I can keep my memory.
How might my experience of writing this paper affect my choices in the future?
I think I will become clam whatever I meet. Because from writing this paper I know that death is not that frightening. Death can’t make me feel afraid then what else can? And I also learned that I need follow my heart. So I think when I go to university and begin to choose my major, I will choose the one that I like instead of listening my parents’ idea.
