1. Do We Need to Face Death to Truly Appreciate Life?

Post by smkelly »

Life and death are intrinsically connected throughout this novel, as Bud’s confrontations with death are what drive him to begin to truly live.

Do you believe this is an extreme position? Must we confront death so head-on in order to appreciate our lives?
