Elsewhere is a book all about the death of a girl named Lizzie and the adventure that comes afterwards. Lizzie is in an alternative universe called Elsewhere, filled with every other dead person. As the story progresses we learn that there is a sort of exception or condition to this alternative universe. You age in reverse and when you become the age of seven again, you are simply reincarnated. So, now in this book we have the aspect of an after life and Reincarnation. These are two things that a lot of people in today's society believe in, because it brings them comfort and relief.
Since I believe that there is not life after death or reincarnation I found this picture to be very funny. It made me think about whether someone who believe in a life after death would actually knowingly want to die. If they are not ready to die in order to go live another life, then do they actually believe in it? If they are not ready to die in order to live this other life they think that will be given to them, then I think it is fair to say that it is just a comfort tactic.
