A Eulogy Of Characters
This eulogy I have written is for a very close family friend and second mother Vicky Jane Williams Everyone here knew her and loved her. Vicky was born on the 2nd of May in 1972 to Patricia and Ronald Pugsley and she passed away on the 12th of May 2014. She had a brother named Craig Pugsley and they both grew up in Waikerie, SA. She attended Waikerie Primary School and Waikerie High School. Her parents split up when she was in Primary School and she stayed in Waikerie with her mother and her father moved away to a location just outside of Naracoorte, SA. She also had 6 children, 5 boys and 1 girl. One of her sons passed away before her death though.

She had a lot of hobbies and interests; her most prominent one was her love of jewelry. She loved to collect jewelry. One of her more noticeable quirks was that she always liked to colour her hair. Almost every time we saw her, she had changed her hair colour to either blonde or bright pink, those were her favourite hair colours. Eventually she in a way worked for and promoted Envy Jewelry by holding parties in order to sell jewelry to friends and family. She was a very passionate person. The most important thing she is remembered

She will be the mother I lost but will forever be in my heart. I know that she will always be watching me, and I will always try to make her proud. Her memory will live on in the hearts of every person she’s touched on an emotional level. I hope that the most important thing you’ll take away from this eulogy is that life is short so live it to the fullest and spend as much time with your loved ones as possible. People who wish to honour her memory will not think of her in sadness but think of her at the happiest you’ve seen her. For that is what she would want for all of us. Do not wallow in the sorrow of her death, instead celebrate the amazing person she is and the amazing life she led. May she rest in

    Finny's Eulogy

    Hello. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Gene Forrester. I was Phineas’ roommate and best friend. We are here today to pay tribute to and celebrate Finny’s remarkable life. Truth be told, writing this speech was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. It wasn’t challenging because I knew too little about Finny to share, but because I knew too much. I knew Phineas better than anyone else; we were constant companions. We were two parts of one whole and the more I got to know Finny the more proud I became to be his friend. He was talented, virtuous, joyful, and so much more. It is a tragedy that a person as young and precious as Finny has been taken so soon. Finny affected us all in ways we can’t even imagine.…

    RIP Chloe Henry. I didn't really know her that much. We used to go to school together and even though we were both really young I remember your kindnes. All I hear people say about you is how much you cared about everyone and how nice and sweet you were. It's not fair to anyone to have to go through what happened to you. And it's not fair for any parents to have their child pass away. It's not fair how young you were and how many things you never had a chance to do. When I found out about this it made me feel absolutely terrible and I still do whenever I think about this injustice. We all love you and pray for you. You did nothing to deserve this. It makes me so fucking pissed off this happened I don’t understand how this coud be done. We all…

    Shortly after working at Adam’s Camp, Farrelly worked in a nursing home called Arbors of Bedford. From here, she worked with the elderly population from the ages of 60 and up. Surely, this was not her ideal job, although, she noticed how this occupation provided the same self-reward as Adam’s Camp. At Arbors or Bedford, she assisted residents with daily living such as bathing, getting dressed, and other activities. More importantly, what she found fascinating was the resident’s stories about their childhood or memories.…

    Eulogy of Piggy

    • 900 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Piggy was a thinker, the smartest kid I’ve ever known. It’s ironic to think that of all the boys, I knew Piggy the most and I do not even know his real name. I hurt’s me to think that I did not realize Piggy’s intelligence until it was almost too late. When we first met I laughed at him and teased him. If I could go back to that first time we met I would have probably still laughed at his confession of being teased as Piggy, but I would still want to know his name. Unfortunately, I will probably never know his true name, and even if I do I will never be able to call him by it. All the time on the island I really took Piggy for granted, his thoughts, his opinions. In the back of my mind I thought they would always be there, how wrong I was to think. I remember that first day clearly, it was far before most of us had spiraled out of control. While we were still innocent and naive. Piggy had seen me and he was the first boy I met on the island. We walked along the beach and found the conch shell that soon came to symbolize our new found society. Piggy had to tell me how to use it because of his asthma. He was the only boy at school with asthma and specs. I guess Piggy was always different from everyone else. Using the conch as he told me I blew and thus a meeting was called, the first meeting. The meeting was anything but organized, yet there was Piggy taking people’s names, the only one smart enough to think of knowing how many of us there were. But even he didn’t get that far, I didn’t give him the chance too. Later on when we set a bunch of dead wood on fire using Piggy’s specs and when Piggy noticed one of the younger boys or litluns was missing, I acted uninterested though deep down I knew I had failed that boy as chief. Piggy cared though, he made sure we were all clear on that, maybe he felt guilty as it was his specs to light the flame. But whenever he had tried to make things heard he was always opposed, mainly by Jack and even myself at times. I think that…

    The accusation process of a crime is often very tedious and at times misleading, but with careful analyzation the true culprit can be revealed. Such an instance occurs in Gabriel García Márquez's journalistic novel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, in which Santiago Nasar is indicted of having been the individual responsible for deflowering Angela Vicario prior to her arranged marriage to Bayardo San Roman. This accusation, which is initially stated by Angela Vicario herself, causes a chain of events which ultimately result in the murder of Santiago Nasar by Pedro and Pablo Vicario, Angela’s brothers. Through their actions, the twins act for honor with the intention of freeing their sister of her dishonorable past. After the murder, many townspeople…

    When I read Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the first time, I was initially not impressed by the book. I found the story to be uninteresting and predictable, like something that came from a Spanish soap opera. After reading the first few pages of the book, I already deduced that the man who was murdered in the story was the result of a marriage gone horribly wrong because the bride was not a virgin. That a bride who loses her virginity before marriage is a taboo that still persists in some parts of Latin America. By the time I finished reading the novel, I could not figure out the significance of this book. It was not until I learned more about the role of the characters and what they are supposed to represent, the event Marquez based on the story on, and how his cultural background is…

    Eulogy In Hamlet

    • 137 Words
    • 1 Page

    In Hamlet, they make that correlation through the description of Denmark being now described as poisoned, ill, and corrupted under Claudius. We see this through the eulogy’s of Hamlet speaking of his father, giving us the perception that he was an honorable king. In retrospect, we have Claudius who has a tendency to unsettle those around him. He does not have a firm grip on the empire such as the nervous soldiers in the first scene and the commoners outside the castle who Claudius fears. Hamlet speaks in terms of rot and corruption, describing the world as an "unweeded garden" and has a fascination towards the idea of decomposing corpses. Hamlet only seems comfortable with things that are dead: he admires his father, claims to love Ophelia…

    We are gathered here to day not to mourn, but to celebrate the life of a great man, who stood out in society not just because fo his position as a king but because he was a loving father, strong leader, and loyal friend. The tremendous respect that I and many others held for him is such taht I do not believe any tribute I could give would do King Hamlet justice. It is for this reason that I would like you to thin knot about my words , but rather about what king Hamlet meant to you personally. Think of the loving father or husband who cared for you, the strong leader who guide you, or the loyal friend whom you admired.…

    The film "Bontoc Eulogy" is about an American-Filipino man searching for his roots. He looked for confirmation and facts through the mountain province where he got actual footages of how the igorots are living and through different museums and records in the United States. He edited all his clips and re-enactments and made a whole narrative out of it. He made the film a story of how his igorot ancestor Marko was peacefully living in the Mounatin provinces and how he was just simply separated from his own family to be displayed for the civilized men to see in the St. Lous' World Fair in 1904. At the end he showed himself looking for artefacts and relics in different museums and end the story of himself wondering whether he will find his lost igorot ancestor or not. This film was a combination of facts and fiction. The actual footages were all real but the narrative that he made was all fiction. He may have an igorot ancestor but no one knows if this igorot ancestor of him is really part of the St. Louis' World Fair in 1904. Though the igorot ancestor story of him is just a fiction, we all know that fiction is sometimes necessary to light up the national consciousness in us. Rizal also used fiction in his time to uplift our desire for the better of our country. His novels were a great factor in building up the national consciousness of his fellow countrymen and lead them to fight for what is right for themselves and for their country. I was amazed how Marlon Fuentes made this kind of film/documentary. I love how he touched our human emotions to nourish the nationalist dream inside us by using a documentary and creating a story of how the ifugaos, our natives suffered in the St. Louis World Fair in 1904.…
