The drug epidemic that has impacted our country has taken a toll on babies either being born with a drug addiction or dying because of drug addiction.

The drug addiction from birth can be the beginning of a not so successful life for that child, and if there is more of a drug epidemic it can have a negative effect on our country as a whole.…

Rothko distrusted high-flown approaches to his paintings and preferred to talk about his art work in his own terms of the emotions. Rothko was interested in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, specifically the Birth of tragedy. Mark Rothko cites Nietzsche to provide a way to describe his own sense of modern tragedy as he felt that his work related more to evoking a conjunction of pain and pleasure, which was a task that Rothko took most seriously.

The detail of every character and object is rich with also a grand orchestra, soft piano and jazz numbers to company.…
