About This Quote

In the novel 'The Color Purple,' by Alice Walker, there is a scene in which a child wonders if the world is going to have a funeral for him. This illustrates how incredibly important it is to us all to have a voice when we die. That voice will not only be the last thing we hear but it will be the last thing our friends and family hear.
