Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night

"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas, uses repetition to bring home his message. He uses the phrases "Do not go gentle into that good night," and "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" repeatedly. These say that one should never choose to die, rather doing all in his will to stay alive. What I got  from this poem, is that man has too much to still do, and achieve to simply give up to death. One must fight death, with all his might, so he can make his mark on the world. It seems that the poet himself felt this way, wanting to leave a lasting influence of his own. This poem has a powerful message, not to allow death to take  one, for one has too much still to do. I agree with this poem, because I think there is always more life to live. No matter how great a life one lives, or how old one lives to be, there will always be more that one could have done. One should always live life to the fullest, and never accept the blows life deals.
