Fall Relates to Death

In Sonnet 73, William Shakespeare talks about fall and death.  It is easy to tell its fall because he writes "When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang/ Upon those boughs which shake against the cold..." (line 2-3).  This is telling the reader that the leaves have changed colors.  It also allows them to know that not many are hanging from the tree.  This makes the reader lean towards the fall season.  Death comes into effect in line 7-8.  It says, "Which by and by black night doth take away,/ Death's second self, that seals up all in rest."  The black night represents the death of a person.  Death relates to fall because plants and animals in nature are dying or preparing for the cold winter ahead.

This message/ theme of Sonnet 73 is true.  A real life example is the best way of showing this.  During the fall season in the northern part of the northern hemisphere, the leaves are changing and fall off the trees.  Right now, any person can tell this because the trees look pretty, and there are leaves all over the grass, and some are in the street.  Another good example would be watching TV.  Any Halloween show or movie that is shown shows the leaves on the ground and a few hanging on a tree.  This shows that Halloween does happen in the fall.  Some movie examples would be Halloween Town and Halloween Town High.
