Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night Notes

-"Don't just die"
-The author is talking about his father
-Resistingly aware, unexpected melancholia, (determined rage,) wistful regret, solemn objectivity
-(16,) 4, 10, 16+4, none
-The author suggests one should meet death with challenging preparedness
-The author's ambiguity toward his father's death is shown in the various characterizations of men
-Personification is shown in "Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight"

Departmental:
-An allegory for human idiosyncrasies
-There is a shift in the poem from descriptive narrative to pensive editorial
-The tone of the poem can best be described as satirical exposition
-"Arrest" in line 16 most likely means incarceration, (admonition,) capture detention, or seizure
-Euphemism is exhibited in "death's come to Jerry McCormack"
-"Atwiddle" means
