Oh my, is there really such manners to die?

I'll be talking a little bit about different death rituals. Primely I'll be talking about three: Tibetan, Sati, Famadihana .
The tibetian death ritual is called sky burial and consists in people cutting of your body in strategic dimensions so later on  you could be feed to a vulture.  


The Sati ritual is if you are a women, and your husband dies, you burned yourself so you could die along with your husband. 

The Famahana ritual that beliefs that a human's soul doen't leave the body until the body is decomposed. Therefore, each year the family of the dead person reunites where the body is sepulture and wraps the body in silk clothing and starts partying with it.

Death.

My views of death have banish throught time. At first, I gave it too much importance, I feared it, it eased me. Now, It doesn't mean anything to me, I don't pay attention to it, it doesn't matter to me anymore. Nevertheless, I feel i should pay attention to it, well its something important for life, it is the debt every human has to pay.

Ohh Louis, why did you had to die.

 Why is this person an icon? I think words abound right here, his songs give you the reasons . He IS the jazz musician. Without him, music today would have been different. In his times, he contribute to the Harlem Renaissance and he also made way for jazz in the 20`s. You could say he was responsible for GATSBY'S partys. He made everyone shake their booties off and party till there was no tomorrow.  He made ROAR the 20's with his great music, making every single person in that time, stand up, grab a couple, dance and end up having a great time. 

Music to Gatsby's ears.

I believe this song contains the spirit of the novel in the way it describes a gangster type of living, one speakeasy in the 1920's that belong to Mr Wolf. It shows the eccentric taste of a person that swings and partys in Gatsby's house. It illustrates Gatsby's partys. It is a song that shows a men with power that lives a life of lust and excess but truly this guy is not what it appeals but instead, this guy is being like that cause he wants to hide and put a mask in his faces because he has other intentions like Gatsby did...
