that of Mr Writer Man, who is Adamine's son, and Adamine herself. In the following, I will discuss the link between mental illness and leprosy that is presented in The Last Warner Woman and how the different focal characters view mental illness. Lepers used to be literally pushed to the fringes of society. Even in the Bible, they are described as outcasts, people who
construct of “blackness,” as well as the metaphorical societal invisibility that is suffered as a result. In Free Enterprise, Cliff’s implementation of the motif of black invisibility is prevalent throughout the depiction of a leper colony. In the literal sense, the colony serves the purpose of preventing those with leprosy, a disease which “flourishes among the darker races,” from infecting the rest of the general populace (Cliff 35). In the metaphorical sense, however, its existence in the work
uncompromisingly, at the devastation that this disease causes the human body. She does not look away, not from the cruelest deformations this disease generates. Her purpose was to expose the punishing and superfluous way that lepers continued to be treated in Iran, funneled into quarantined leper colonies where their disease went relatively untreated, causing them to slowly and painfully degenerate. Farrokhzad’s film was deliberate in raising cognizance about these conditions, and to emphasize that this situation
poignantly demonstrated through their enduring inquisition of whether “their names were called at holiday gatherings,” an unfulfilled curiosity concerning the simple recollection of their existences (Cliff 42). From an analytical standpoint, the colony presents a metaphor for the dehumanization and erasure of black identity as a means of societal marginalization and disposal.

Someone has the chance to change when a new, exciting opportunity leads to a new journey. “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho is a novel that shows that everyone has their own calling to follow. “The Human Experience” is a documentary directed by Charles Kinnane that shows that experiencing new things can really transform a person. Journeys present transformative opportunities to those who seek more in life. When a person identifies their calling early in life it allows for more growth. Melchizedek
Daughters of the Lepers Many historians, writers, and health practitioners, still remain curious to know and seek stories of the Lepers of Kalaupapa. According to the Hawaiian Journal of History, in 1865, the Hawaiian Kingdom established the isolation settlement for any individuals infected with leprosy. Numerous stories have been told of the Leper parents on Kalaupapa however; my focus towards this research is the many children who was taken and separated from their Leper parents. Children
the exchange of goods and services by Britain and the English colonies was only obtainable through utilizing transportation. As a result, an advantageous Atlantic economy was formed . Britain applied transportation as a method of ridding the country of undesirables, which included convicts, and consequently created the criminal transportation system.
