Using what you learned through the movie yesterday, what do you think is the purpose or message of this short film? We fear the unknown so we fear death. Losing someone is sad so death is associated with sadness. If you accept death as a natural part of the life cycle, it can be less scary. If you believe that there is an afterlife, you can come to terms with your sadness because you have hope that you will see your loved ones again. You can keep the spirt of your loved ones alive in your heart by remembering all the good times you shared and in this way they can be closer now than they were before.
