The second chapter “Everybody Dies,” is an analysis of Jim Munroe’s work Everybody Dies (2008) by Connor Forrest  This chapter highlights Munroe’s depiction of death as well as its redemptive qualities and further details Munroe’s description of death being a necessary inevitability in the cycle that is life.
