I think the author choose abandoned farmhouse as the title to emphasis on the significance of the abandoned farmhouse.
Dominic Savio was born on April 2, 1842 in the village of Riva in northern Italy. His father was a blacksmith and his mother a seamstress. He had nine brothers and sisters. His family was poor but hardworking. They were devout and pious Catholics.
I hopes that helps
Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of his pride because he did not listen to the advice of others and protect his achilles heel, the only place where someone could kill him. Achilles couldn't be killed except if you were to shoot an arrow into his heel, so by not protecting his heel, Achilles pride got in the way which lead to his death. He ended up getting shot by a poisoned arrow in his heel and died. Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of pride. He sacrificed something huge for something so small.
Hope this helps you.
If I'm not mistaken, its a fused run-on sentence. A comma splice is where there is an unneeded comma, and it isn't a simple as it contains a conjunction.
