Read the excerpt. on some fond breast the parting soul relies, some pious drops the closing eye requires; even from the tomb the voice of nature cries, even in our ashes live their wonted fires. in these lines from “elegy written in a country churchyard” by thomas gray, what does the speaker suggest about the need to be remembered after death? only the famous and powerful want to be remembered. people would rather forget those who have passed before them. no one feels the need to be remembered once they’ve passed on. all people want to be mourned and remembered after death.

The speaker suggest the following about the need to be remembered after death:

All people want to be mourned and remembered after death.

People who are about to die (closing eye) find comfort (parting soul relies) in knowing that they will be mourned (pious drops, which refers to tears). Also, wanting to be remembered is a characteristic of human nature (the voice of Nature cries, Even in ours ashes live their wonted fires).

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
