Writing about Life and Death

  The story called the Katha Unpanishad, is an allegory which uses characters and narrative structures to help us the readers think about different abstract concepts. In the story they explain how their religion and death connect to how your destiny will work out. Many people have different religions which causes them to all think and look at it differently when it some to death. The main points I am going to focus on are how people's different religion affect their life and death.
    I'm first going to start off by discussing religions. Many countries and culture have different religions and beliefs.For example Nachiketa a teenage boy who proved Yama, the the character which was presented as death that we was more of a wise kid which wondering things and wasn't afraid of pushing button you can say and always ended u getting what he wanted. But in this case Nachiketa wasn't going to fool Yama by him begging all he can to hear what he wants to hear. Even those Nachiketa was supported by those he loved by thinking he was the right one to confront Yama.
     In this paragraph I’m going to focus on the theme of life. To start off life and religion are the main themes of this story. In the Katha Unpanishad, Nachiketa’s dad doesn’t want to send Nachiketa to Yama because he doesn’t thing he the right fit you can say. But Nachiketa doesn’t take no as an answer especially when the requirement is when the first boy in the family is born he shall go to Yama and will get 3 boons he gets to ask the character,Yama which is presented as death to us the readers. Out of the 3 booms Nachiketa got Yama was only able to grant him 2 because the third boon that Nachiketa asked for was something Yama couldn’t answer, but Nachiketa being the wise teenager he was he insisted on having an answer.
     In this final paragraph the topic I’m going to focus on is going to be death. Death can sometimes be scary for some people but not for Nachiketa. Nachiketa was totally the opposite he wanted to see and experience what it’s like on the other side of life which is death. He wants to see what it’s like to be dead. Even tho Nachiketa has the opportunity to get any question answered he kept insisting to get his only question answered which was what would happen after death. In conclusion Nachiketa
