HELP SUPER EASY. IF ANYONE KNOWS VINCENT VAN GOGH’s BIOGRAPHY:
Please list three positive and three negative aspects in his life and be as specific as you can :) Thank you.

Well, Here's your positive stuff be is 1. He only started painting at the age of 27.

Van Gogh only started painting at the relatively late age of 27 and was mostly self-taught. His early paintings are not the colorful displays which most people are familiar with. When he started painting, he used a dull palette of colors and painted some of the harsh realities of life. Poverty and financial hardship was a common theme in many of his early works. The painting below is a representation of how he painted at the start of his career. 2. He attempted many other careers before declaring himself an artist.

Van Gogh was only a painter for the last decade of his relatively short life. Before painting, he tried his hand at many other careers such as an art dealer (like his brother Theo), school teacher and preacher.

He had little success in any of these areas and announced himself as an artist in a letter to Theo in 1880. 3. He was close friends with Paul Gauguin.

Van Gogh met Paul Gauguin in Paris in 1887. The two painted together frequently but were stylistically different. Well, Here's your negative stuff. 1. He did not experience much commercial success during his lifetime.

In fact, van Gogh is only thought to have sold one painting during his lifetime, being the Red Vineyards Near Arles. Had he lived a bit longer, he may have had the chance to experience some of the fruits of his later fame. 2. He was troubled by illness.

Van Gogh was troubled by mental illness for most of his life. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, including a period at Saint-Rémy. 3. He cut his own ear.

There are many theories surrounding the van Gogh ear cutting incident. One of the popular theories is that van Gogh took a razor to his left ear and partially severed it after getting into a fight with fellow artist Paul Gauguin. He then wrapped the partially severed ear in paper and delivered it to a woman at a brothel which both he and Gaugin used to frequent. Good Luck!

quite an interesting way to teach topic sentences, because the answer to this question is the best definition of a topic sentence that one can present, it is as if answering the questions taught you how to do it, this is some real teaching, it is terribly well-done.

the topic sentence in this paragraph is:

topic sentences writers stay on track and keep a paragraph from becoming an aimless collection of sentences about an idea.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
