How To Write A Eulogy It is a quiet room filled with people. Most of them have smiles on their faces. Some of them are even about to have a laughter or two. Is it easy to find such a room in a university? Yes. But is it easy to find such a room where people are holding a funeral in? Absolutely no. The masterpiece-eulogy by Margaret Atwood made it possible. That is right‚ I am talking about “The Great Communicator”(1999)‚ the eulogy to Northrop Frye.

This was “my child.” I would have to make sure he was fed‚ bathed‚ changed‚ and happy
