No Country for Old Men is a story about how greedy man can be and what they will do for money; along with this the book raises questions about fate.

Nick Spitzer, in an article titled “Love and Death at Second-Line,” writes about violence at the jazz funeral second line of Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, a famous New Orleans musician. He gives a first person perspective of a jazz funeral where a man is shot over a controversy due to a turf war over beer sales. (Spitzer) This is not the only reported event of violence in the second lines. To prevent incidents like this from occurring though, the new process of organizing a second line would extinguish any thoughts of bringing aggression into a
