I really liked this poem because I felt emotional while reading it. I felt that it was sad because she was passing away, however I'm glad she stood up for herself and told her dying wish. I would be upset too if I had to see my husband be stuffed and basically put on display. I'm happy that her body was never put on display like the rest of her family was. This poem has feeling behind it which is important when reading a piece of writing. It makes me more interested in it. The quote that I liked in this poem was "They will take me. Already they come; even as I breathe they are waiting for me to finish my dying." I feel sad for her that she knows she is only wanted when she is dead and she doesn't want that to happen to her.
