My Antonia
What does the following passage about Otto's experience in the mines seem to say about the theme of men and death?
"That afternoon Fuchs told me story after story; about the Black Tiger mine, and about violent deaths and causal buryings, and the queer fancies of dying men. You never really knew a man, he said, until you saw him die. Most men were game, and went without a grudge."
