Eulogy : The Funeral Exercise

According to picturequotes.com, “Words are powerful. They can create or they can destroy. So choose your words wisely.” In Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, conspirators slay Julius Caesar, resulting in anarchy in Rome. Some agree with the death, while others oppose the sudden and violent death of Caesar. Unlike Antony, Brutus uses emotion rather than fact to sway the Roman people that Caesars death is justified. Although Brutus puts rules in place so he can not talk disrespectfully of the conspiracy, Antony, Caesar‘s closest friend, uses his slyness and manipulation in his funeral speech to persuade the Romans. Although both characters use analogies, parallelism, loaded words and hyperboles, their speeches convey very different

In the Aftermath of the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta, Pericles, Athens’ general and statesmen, delivered a powerfully comforting eulogy to the polis of Athens, assuring the people that their city state is in good hands, and easing the pain of all the families and relatives of the deceased. He uses several rhetorical devices throughout his speech to gain a positive emotional appeal by his audience and makes assertions in the attempt to enhance and transform the perception of him by the audience.

Laura Wallen. My teacher and class sponsor Ms.Wallen was killed during the first week of my senior year. If I had one more chance to talk to her I would be ecstatic. I would want to talk to her because she was one of the first teachers I met in high school. Having Ms.Wallen as a teacher who was always here supporting me was a great feeling. Every Time I saw Ms.Wallen she was smiling. During our homecoming week we would have to design a hallway and even with little to no supplies and only a few class council member, she would make it feel like we were winners. I would want to talk about college applications and all of the senior year events we were planning together. I would want to tell her that I love her and that her support from the beginning

I am writing this statement regarding Elizabeth Wall. Elizabeth was a co-worker of mine at the Grand Rapids Ellington Academy of Arts and Technology during the 2015-2016 school year. While there Elizabeth was the Middle and High School Special Education Teacher. She was let go during the summer of 2016 when her job was eliminated and combined to became a k-12 Special Education position. I found working with her to be incredibly successful for the students that we shared. This year many of her previous students wish that she was still working with us. Working with an urban population has its difficulties. With Elizabeth’s help we were able to find a homeless student a place to live and find help for another that was being abused in the home

With my character, I have guided it to be filled with respect, responsibility, trust, fairness, and caring attributes. I respect my teachers by not wasting their time with chatting and turning in late work.

I remember everything as if it were yesterday. The shock, the sadness, the pain, and the sickness she had to suffer. I remember sitting beside her, holding her hand as she had IV’s put into her arms. I remember the conversations we had; she’d explain to me how she just wanted to go outside again; she’d be enthusiastic for the day she got out of the hospital; we made plans for when she beat cancer. Two years have gone by so fast, and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t thought about her.

“Kirsty I don't know how to say this in a happy way but mom died. She died 10 minutes after you left. She woke up and said she loved us very much then passed away. There was no one there so the doctor called me and told me the news. He is very sorry for us and told us to stay strong. The funeral will be in a week in Utah” -Cathy

After going into detail about her move to New York and humanitarian involvement with Hurricane Sandy, her last piece of advice was to support one another. You must help somebody out to get help so might as well pay it forward. I feel like I learned a lot about the industry and how to handle it all from Marcie and am glad there is someone out there who is all about lady

For example, Katniss Everdeen is a very good role model. She is caring and shows it by saying “I have been putting food on the table for four years…” (Collins 89) Not only is she caring, but she is also successful. It is shown by Effie's statement “I am pleased to present the victors of the 74 Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen…” (Collins 345) The last quality Katniss displays is her strength, the author describes her a strong competitor because in the book it reads, “Without hesitation I sprint to the

I would like to start by thanking Desdemona’s family who have travelled from Venice to be here today, and to all her loyal friends here in Cyprus for your unwavering support during this difficult time.

I cried thinking of not being in Neil's presence again but am quickly reminded of how much his presence blessed us whenever AJ and I visited. He was such a kind beautiful soul. His art in sharing the history of Maine and political thought was so fascinating and left more to be desired. Thank you, Neil. You have been world-class.

Good morning, family and friends of Carissa. I want to begin with a quote by Benjamin Mays, “The tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.” Carissa was a loving daughter, sister, wife, and friend. Although her life ended too soon, that does not mean she did not get the chance to truly live. She was always striving to be the best version of herself and that is a quality that we can all learn from and carry throughout the rest of our own lives.
