                       Four Level of To an Athlete Dying Young

1.Literal Comprehension

One day the young athlete won the race sponsored the competing municipalities. After his victory, he was given a public procession & praised watched all this. Next year the young athlete is being carried through the town once again, not for a victory, but for a memorial, along the same route, but this time in a coffin. The home that the athlete is taken to today is his grave. The athlete is praised because he will know the only victory. He will never know how temporary fame is, nor will never know the pain of not winning in the same race the next year & he is always be remembered as a hero by the living. The death here can never see his record beaten. He is lucky not to be along with those who live longer than their achievements. He should be proud of his winning which he will take to the grave with his success in life which was signified by the garland that he once wore in his hair.

2.Interpretation

The Poem might be trying to tell us that fame is more short-lived than life itself. So one should try one’s best to maintain be honour. It may also be interpreted to mean that one should always live a famous life by sacrificing anything.

3.Critical Thinking

The speaker has praised the athlete because he died when his name is at the top. But I disagree with the speaker. I think that life is meant to be lived, not no die just for the shake of honour, But if the speaker is consoling the athlete accept the sure death I agree with him.

4.Assimilation

By reading this poem I realized how certain death is. One has to die whether one is young or old, whether one is young or old, whether one is famous or notorious. But it is better to die young than to live to be notorious.
