Lennie’s Eulogy Sometimes things happen‚ and there isn’t always something that we can do to change it. Someone’s death will always be something to mourn about‚ but it also allows us to celebrate their life and bring everyone together. Lennie’s death is most definitely a reason to bring us together‚ and even more of a reason to talk about and cherish. Lennie and I had a different relationship than most people do. We stuck together wherever we went‚ and a lot of people questioned this. It was just

However‚ we only know about this story through Gertrude‚ and she claims Ophelia “chanted snatches of old lauds” as she drowned. It is highly improbable that the Queen‚ or anyone‚ witnessed the drowning. Shakespeare’s inclusion of this detail indicates that Gertrude is misrepresenting the drowning.

Freed us from the pain and suffering the monster had brought us. But his heroic endeavor did not stop there. For the ferocious
