Figurative Language in Poems: Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

I like this poem because it teaches us that we should not give up easily when faced with any difficulty, including and especialy death. Dylan Thomas wrote this poem for his father when he was on his deathbed. He and his father never got along well and were always quarrelling or fighting. However, when his father was about to die, Dylan Thomas wrote this poem as encouragement for his father, telling him to stay strong and fight the illness he was going through. i especially like the part where he writes, "Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray". It shows that he actually cares for his father despite all their past quarrels, so much so that he does not care if his father is cursing or blessing him but just wants a sign that he can still do something.
