To Live While they wait, she walks around the small living room again, lifting up the corners of the blinds and peeking out into the darkness. All the windows are closed, but she pushes down at each pane a little to be sure. She feels Timmy’s eyes on her back and she wants to scratch her neck with her torn nails. There aren’t many people around anyway. This was never a populous town, true, but now it’s practically empty. Mr. Wilson, a few houses down, left for bigger cities long ago with…

hour. Still after two weeks of fighting in France one thing that haunts me one the numerous corpses littered around the trenches. It’s the smell that stays with me; the mixture of faeces and decaying bodies seemingly blinding my nostrils from anything else. If only the French were to have moved the bodies away from the trenches before they buried them. The corpses have become a part of the trenches. It really doesn’t help the state of mind being reminded you could die and be tossed away like…

many more convincing reasons that ultimately persuade a reader. An example of some of her informative information being that Mary has a chapter dedicated to cremation and alternatives that are cheaper. She notes that the reader can try donating their bodies to science, be turned into compost, be turned into a liquid, be “freeze-dried” (262), and many other options that can be as low as thirty dollars.
