Although life seems like eternity, it comes to an end faster than you think. In one life span, there are millions of things that happen. Filled with memories that are never forgotten. The poem, "A Coney Island Life" by James L. Weil shows us it's ideas on what life is and some advices that could help us fulfill our lives. The poem is about the comparison of James L Weil's life compared to the Coney Island amusement park. In the poem, Weil shows that in order for one to get the best out of life, they must be wise in their decisions because a second chance doesn't come.
There are many twists and turns in a person's lifetime. Making all kinds of decisions along the way. "Having living a coney island life; on a rollercoaster ups and downs." (line 1&2) Life is seemingly similar to a rollercoaster because of all the ups and downs. We make various choices in life which determines the quality of the outcome. But the reason for the ups and downs are not the victories but rather the decisions that people make. On a rollercoaster, there is no going back. After what you go through you have to live with it. This is the reason for why we need to choose wisely, so that we don't feel the regrets. Because there are no second chances. However as long as we make the right choices the first time, there will be victories" now arms filled with dolls." (line 5) Life's choices shapes each and every person, with the possibility of success. A good choice can lead to a good outcome. As one lives, they will soon realize all the victories that they have won that they may have not noticed. Choosing wisely, the choices that shaped the person's life.
Not knowing when it will end nor knowing how it will end. "I perhaps take my last ride." (line 7) shows the uncertainty in the length of life itself. As we wonder what life may hold for us we still have a thought of question when it may all end. Every choice that you make has the chance of being your last. With this in mind, this shows the importance of choices. When that choice comes, you do not get a second chance. "And ask, How many more times round I have left." (line 9-11) is a statement that shows the risk that we take as we live. Making the right choice is one of the most important part of living as a human being, while we wonder how much longer we have on this planet, we must remember what got us there. When we have the chance to do something, we need to choose the best option, this is because we will never know if that same chance will ever appear again. This is shown in the two sentences as we learn that life is full of uncertainties which means that the same say will never come. As a result, you will need to make your choices worth it.
The poem, " A Coney Island Life" by James L. Weil provides us the information that in order to get the best of life, you must During a lifetime, there are many things, that happen. During this time, there will be ups and downs filled with various victories. With this in mind, there are uncertainties of when it will all end. Wondering how much longer you have to maybe make more victories. The next time that one makes a decision, s/he must be careful so that they will not regret in what they did before their end.
