untimely death. Vincent van Gogh died poor while never selling more than one painting. He died while never reaching his goal of an artistic community in Arles. Nevertheless, the legacy he leaves behind as one of the greatest artists in human history is nothing shy of Leonard da Vinci or Michelangelo. However, would it be appropriate to say Vincent van Gogh had a good life? This question sums up to whether the greatness of his work and the legacy he left after death overshadow the sufferings he endured

faith in his search of his son and faith overall since his family is essentially drifting away from the way of life they were raised into. In book 2 of Cry, the Beloved Country, the main conflict was how Absalom could not cope with being sentenced to death. “Be of courage, my son. I am afraid, he cried. I am afraid”(Paton 241). This showed how he was fearful and was struggling to accept the fact that he will be executed soon. In this quote, “Then he preached a few words to them, that they were to remain
family, and race, as well as comparing the authors’ stylistic approaches. Sickness and suffering is a comparable theme in the two novels. Even in the titles of both novels, this theme is evident. In addition to the title, Faulkner continues on this theme of sickness and suffering and progresses the theme by introducing the theme of death and life. While death is the result of Addie’s sickness and suffering, the morbid scenes described through symbolism throughout the book prompt
Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents, and are one of the leading causes of death among adults (Infectious disease: a persistent threat). Examples of these infectious diseases that became widespread due to globalization include: the Bubonic Plague, Measles, Smallpox, Malaria, Tuberculosis, and most recently, the Ebola virus of 2014.

“I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free” (Garvey).
