Godfather Death

Have you ever been the person that wanted to be rich and very famous. The doctor in “Godfather Death” died out by a candle and the author used opposition for death.

In the story Godfather Death there was a doctor that got raised up by death. Death keeps a candle for every person and when the candle gets low the person dies and every candle will burn faster than others. In the story the doctor treats people with a herb. If Godfather Death is standing by the persons head the doctor will be able to cure that person and if he is standing by their feet then he can treat them but Godfather Death will punish him. He treats the queen even though death was standing by her feet. His punishment was to see his candle. When he saw his candle the candle was almost out and he begged him a lot but Godfather Death only said “ A candle has to run out before a new candle can be put in its place.” Just as Godfather Death said that he fell to the ground and never got back up so this is means that these candles represent death.

Secondly the author decided that death should determine that someone was going to die by a candle. What is weird is that death represents darkness, and a candle is one of the brightest things that you can have. So the author decided to use opposition in the book .

In the short story “Godfather Death” a candle is used to represent death, and the author used opposites. So the story “Godfather Death” is most likely fiction because somebody couldn’t get raised up by death and people most likely don’t have a candle for when they are going to die.
