Luke Havergal Suicide
The poem Luke Havergal explains what happens now how people wish they could be someone else and it explains about a man named Richard Corey, who seemed to have everything, looks, money, and a nice life, the author portrays him as a wealthy man who other people envy, but it gives a good representation of the saying "Do not judge a book by its cover." because even though they Portray him as being "perfect" it says that in one summer day everything came to an end and Luke Havergal the man everyone envied had committed suicide. This shows that people may look/act one way, but you never know what someone is actually going through or what problems they're facing. We didn't know much about the character apart from being envied, good looking and rich as a king.

There have been many novels, poems, books, movies, on this topic one of my favorites is Gatsby it is similar in the sense that they are rich and seem to have everything but the Gatsby character was unhappy because he couldn't find love maybe it is the same for this poem. This poem lets you think of why Luke Havergal could have done it and also teaches you to be grateful for who you are and not wish you were someone else because someone else might have worse problems than you and you simply might not know it. "He glittered when he walked" shows how people thought of him". "And then Richard Corey, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head" on a calm summer night explains that nobody knew what he had
