In this paper, I intend to show the writing process performed from a research in a primary school
from an educational municipal network in the interior of São Paulo' state. To write the research I assumed the narrative from a Benjamin's perspective. In the first place, that choice shows a researcher who chooses to incorporate itself in its own discourse, and secondly, that this speech has a mark of being tied to the life and its experiences. I believe that the writing process of the research is complex and in that process other understandings can appear that were not previously observed or thought. In this sense, it is important to value the writing process of the research process in its formative dimension.

Since Plato, death has been a recurring theme in the history of philosophy and the Hellenistic schools of thought. The "death" subject became a daily reflection particularly in Epicureanism and in Stoicism, from which not only the term meditatio mortis comes from, but an entire literature, including the writings made in the medieval times that had the final moment of life as their central point. Thus, in the 16th century, the period when Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) lived his life, meditation on death was a rhetorical topos. Nevertheless, his Essays approach the theme of death not only from a literary standpoint, but as a daily meditation, as a spiritual exercise. In this perspective, this article suggests that Montaigne, far beyond a rhetorical approach, attempts to recover the most original meaning that the Hellenistic schools of thought gave to meditatio mortis, taking this concept as a preparation for life itself, as a constant way of observing the present, faced with an imminent scenario of various deaths, such as the Black Death epidemic and the civil war in Montaigne troubled times.

The following text is a fragment of a doctoral work and will cover a specific period of the young Nietzsche's life, when he served as a nurse-soldier in the Franco-Prussian war. It was the moment of writing his first book The birth of tragedy. The struggle for culture figured as the weapon used to prevail in favor of its elevation. It was intended that she return to the classics of Antiquity and Germany as horizons to guide a thought as an "instrument of combat". In addition to this direct experience in the war, these missives refer to art, especially the musical, which, in our understanding, figured as an educational medium. It is worth noting that several moments in Nietzsche's daily experience, his occupations, creations, fights, doubts, suffering, work; all were springs that propelled his thinking and the constitution of a personality that learned and created ways to educate himself and also generated an instrument for thinking and confronting the dominant way of life in his time.
