The Dead

This article begins with the assumption that one can gather some picture of the history of man's attitude toward death by examining the literature he has written for children. And so, it proceeds to survey death in children's literature from the early, anonymous works such as Mother Goose, to contemporary picture books like The Dead Bird. This literature is basically divided into four periods: Anonymous, Puritan, Intermediate and Contemporary. At least one representative example and further references follow the explanation of the values and principles of each period. The conclusion points out that, aside from the merits of this survey as a literature study and an indication of man's attitudes towards death through history, it can serve the important role of challenging the reader to examine his own death attitudes.

The Dead

The children found a dead bird. They wrapped it up. They buried it. They said some words and felt sad. They brought flowers for a few days. Then they forgot. This is the theme of the story in the first modern, in-print, actual hold-in-your-hands children's book about grief in my memory— The Dead Bird, by Margaret Wise Brown. It was dear to me because she wrote the first edition the year I was born, 1938, making me one of the gray-haired grandmothers and leaving Wise Brown dead now for more than 45 years. When my husband, Marv, and I founded Centering Corporation in 1977, The Dead Bird was the only book we could find for children. I'm sure there were others; we just didn't find them. They were hidden. Grief wasn't “in” then, and definitely not for children.

Abstract. Twin-engine propeller aircraft accidents occur due to mechanical reasons as well as human error, such as misidentifying a failed engine. This paper proposes a visual indicator as an alternative method to the dead leg–dead engine procedure to identify a failed engine. In total, 50 pilots without a multi-engine rating were randomly assigned to a traditional (dead leg–dead engine) or an alternative (visual indicator) group. Participants performed three takeoffs in a flight simulator with a simulated engine failure after rotation. Participants in the alternative group identified the failed engine faster than the traditional group. A visual indicator may improve pilot accuracy and performance during engine-out emergencies and is recommended as a possible alternative for twin-engine propeller aircraft.
