I like the idea of the heartbeat being those that remember you--In the end it was very loud but there was only one person left who remembered those that were in the city of the dead. When the heartbeat stopped the city started to disappear. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424890 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:21:06 +0000 Alicia 424890@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My thoughts were similar to SM. The more or stronger your ties to someone living the louder and stronger the beats. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424841 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:44:25 +0000 SoxsMom 424841@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>When they first cross into the City though, it is loud. Clearly heard. What a comfort to think that sound represents the people who love you and think of you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424839 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:42:23 +0000 AV 424839@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>my thoughts were that those that heard it strongest, were those that had the most "living" remembering them..... inotherwords, it diminshed as people died, who would remember them.... the fainter it got, the less they "remembered" of their old life, and the closer they were to leaving the city..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424835 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:37:44 +0000 WillowandWindismom 424835@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I thought that it was the heartbeat of the person who remembered the dead and that once that person was gone themselves, then the heartbeat stopped. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424786 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:31:16 +0000 SoxsMom 424786@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was thinking a metronome that keeps count of time. Joan I like your thought. The booming of the crossing into the city. The blind guy heard it distinctly--maybe more than any others because of heightened sense of hearing. Everyone hears it but he was more accutely aware I thought. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424762 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:04:23 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 424762@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was thinking it must have something to do with the sound of passing on - going on a trip - the click-clack of a train on tracks - the sound of journey. It appears others hear it as they hear someone new arriving in the city. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424735 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:35:22 +0000 Catwoman 424735@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>bump </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19583#post-424255 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:23:31 +0000 Catwoman 424255@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>2. What is the significance of the heartbeat that everyone hears during the passage into death? What happens when it can no longer be heard? </p>
