"Death, be not proud" by John Donne: Question 2

       In this short story by John Donne, "Death, be not proud," it is telling death to not to somewhere.  Death should not be proud because "...poppy or charms can make us sleep as well," (Donne, 972).  This insults death saying that other things help the speaker sleep just as well.  The speaker is also saying that this is better than strokes also.  His reasons are also that people do not want to die.  He also tells death not to be proud of the people that have died.  The author is consistent in his reasoning.  He is also logical and persuasive.  He states that no one likes death and that even himself cannot die.  The use of the phrase bones make the diction and organization also not favorable making death not favorable.
