Memorial Service

Burial Rites by Hannah Kent is a story of a woman, Agnes Magnusdottir, fighting against society’s opinion of her as she struggles to redeem herself. Agnes is portrayed as a woman who is struggling against the patriarchal system that seems to imprison her. The audience is positioned to feel sympathy for Agnes throughout the novel as she explains her harsh childhood through her conversations with Toti. We are also positioned to feel sympathy for her as Kent describes the way that she is treated by the men in her life, particularly Blondal and Natan. By the end of the novel the audience is positioned to feel angered by how Agnes is forced to struggle through to her final breaths with very little sympathy shown to her by the dominant characters

Memorializing is often the way to remember a very important, intelligent, or rich person who lives above the rest of us. When we memorialize it sets a way to remember someone long after they have passed from life. More often than not those we put in statues and remember are those who change the world for the better or discover something new like Christopher Columbus, and his statue in Riverside Park (Deegan, Jim, source B). Lincoln's memorial isn’t where or had any importance to Lincoln, but it succeeds his most infamous speech he ever had “The Gettysburg Address” (Savage, source A). H. Elroy Johnson a famous lobster trapper, had a statue made but never finished during his lifetime, not until after his death, was the real statue made to memorialize him (Roadside America, source f).

In 1993, Thomas W. Hyde, a thirty-three year old male came to Jack Kevorich. He was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was unable to swallow without choking, was paralyzed, and had to go through continuous suction procedures. Jack Kevorich was a pathologist who assisted in patient suicide. Kevorich hooked him up to a carbon monoxide mask. Once Thomas decided to pull a sting monoxide would flow through the mask. Twenty minutes later Thomas Hyde died. Thomas Hyde was recorded on video telling Kevorich that he wanted to end his suffering and die. Kevorich was arrested in 1992.

Dr Ilora Finlay, president of the British Medical Association, contends, “Prognoses are notoriously inaccurate. Even the most expert physicians have a 50/50 chance of being wrong over life expectancy of 6 months” (Berry, 2015, p.3). She also states that, “Pathologists tell us postmortem, about 1 in 20 persons are found to have died of something different from the condition they were being treated for” (Berry, 2015, p.3). This argument is widespread because it allows people to remain hopeful that the doctor may have made a misdiagnosis of terminal illness. This argument is not likely to remain very powerful because Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act requires confirmation by a second doctor of a terminal diagnosis of the

Right now, Los Angeles National Cemetery is not accepting new burials. According to officials, they have virtually no room left. In special cases, burial there is possible. For instance, veterans may be able to share a gravesite with a family member already buried there. Additionally, burial spaces open up when a body is exhumed, although this is a rare event. For the most part, Los Angeles National Cemetery doesn’t accept new veteran burials.

Princess Claire decided to kill Queen Monica, her own ‘’beloved’’ mother. Princess Claire’s decisions were made for the people. Within the next few days Claire constructed a plan to have her mother killed. That night, when she had finished her planning, she snuck up behind her mother, not sure if she was ready to actually put the plan in play. After a few seconds Claire took a breath and knocked her mother in the side of the head, killing

" The Sculptor's Funeral", a short story by Willa Cather, emphasizes the behavior and idea of parochialism & provincialism. What's interesting is that this idea is shared by Harvey Merrick, the main character, as well as the townspeople who resent him for leaving. " Harve never was much account for anything practical and he shore was never fond of work" (Cather par. 56) Why is this? Could there be different levels of parochialism? One person may feel that home is where the heart is, but you must also explore the world around you. On the other hand, another individual may only recognize hometown pride in people who remain to live in the town in which they were born.

We, as humans, often get involved only with the issues that affect us or our environment. Furthermore, sometimes we do not see what is happening around us that affects the rest of the society. The article “Drugs are killing so many people in West Virginia that the state can’t keep up with the funerals” by Christopher Ingraham discusses the fact that in West Virginia, the amount of deaths caused (mostly) by overdose has increased so much in recent years that their indigent burial program has ran out of funds to cover funerals for people that do not have the funds to pay for

An untrained, unskilled individual and, at times does without a basic knowledge about the field, is allowed to sign death certificates and judge the cause and manner of death, purely because he was elected to do so by a population that is unaware of the requirements or the qualifications for that post. As seen in the cases of Coroner Tim Brown in Marlboro County and Dr. Frank Minyard, Coroner of New Orleans, the system fails to provide the very basic, a competent autopsy. As a coroner has political dues to pay, he/she may tend not be fair or

The family and police and doctors , didn’t know what caused the death. “ No cause of death or autopsy

One element I see in this memorial is mass. This element really helps the visitors to take in the meaning of the art work by showing how the fallen officers have truly paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect others. I think all viewers will have a similar understanding of this memorial because we all know that police are there to help protect us, and this memorial helps the people honor those whom have protected us with their lives. The only background information I think is required would be to know that this memorial is for the police officers whom have been killed. With this information, the visitors will understand the intention of this memorial because the police are always around to serve and protect the
