"The Indian Burying Ground" is a lyrical poem by Philip Frenau, which reflects the idea that spirits remain active after death as illustrated through the depiction of Indian burial traditions within the poem.
Although both poems address death, they present contrasting views. In "Do not go gentle into that good night," Thomas employs the repeated line "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" to emphasize the importance of fighting to remain alive. Conversely, Yeats uses repeated structures in "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" to illustrate life and death as balanced forces. This supports the poem’s theme that since death is certain, whether one lives or dies is ultimately insignificant.
In the story, the grandmother reveals her true prejudices when she refers to the child at the shack as a pickaninny and asserts that African Americans lack the possessions afforded to white individuals. She fabricates details about her childhood home, indicating her need to deceive in order to achieve her aims. The grandmother instructs Bailey to divert to a house that, although she recalls as the wrong one, she refuses to acknowledge her blunder. Additionally, she recounts an anecdote about a watermelon being consumed when left on her porch, claiming a superior status when she tells the Misfit that he does not share her "common blood," suggesting her belief in racial superiority simply because he is white.
