Eulogy

Mr. S.V, You don't know me nor should you. I am contacting you with conflicting emotions. You and another gentleman P.L. were described as "my closest and probably best friends I've ever had". I feel obligated to pass this limited information to you. Your friend M.R ("DR" to us) has suffered a severe concussion, multiple broken ribs, and possible internal bleeding. Being the team lead I have accompanied him for treatment and observation in country. I will also accompany him stateside where he…

Reflecting on history always leads a historian to reflect on past experiences in a particular way. When William Apess gave his speech “Eulogy on King Philip” in 1836, the Pequot Indian presented a group of New Englanders with evidence of the group’s own betrayal of the Indian people at a time when, elsewhere in the country, Andrew Jackson and his government brutally expelled thousands of Cherokees and other tribes from their homelands. Apess needed to remind these white Americans of their…

Thank you! It is crazy to me that we ended up getting married. In high school you think you love everyone and it 's usually not real love. I always knew I loved him, but I had that mentality that I might just be a foolish sixteen year old. My mother certainly thought so haha! But time kept passing and we got closer, sharing our accomplishments and failure as we went along. I encouraged him to go back to school and he encouraged me not to give up on mine. Many tines I wanted to quit but there he…

Today, I smiled as I held my one and only son, Odysseus, who recently turned ten years old. I could already tell he was destined for greatness, I can just feel it through the way he speaks, moves, and even the way he thinks just gives vibes of the wonders he will do. My son will someday take the role of king of Ithaca. Hopefully he will have a lovely wife and a son to carry the family name. Odysseus will lead us to excellence. I felt Odysseus struggling to move out of my arms, so I bent down…

First, I want to thank you all for supporting us during our loss. Thank you, everyone, for being here at short notices and making time to honor our father during your busy schedule. It has been a difficult time for us. Thank you for being beside us throughout it. While writing this biography, it has brought us so much memories of our past with our father and showered us on how important he was part of our everyday life, from the little things that he did to our happiest moments. Each one of us…

Your father is about to ask me the question. This is the most important moment in our lives, and I want to pay attention, note every detail. Your dad and I have just come back om an evening out, dinner and a show; it’s aer midnight. We came out onto the patio to look at the full moon; then I told your dad I wanted to dance, so he humors me and now we’re slow-dancing, a pair of thirtysomethings swaying back and forth in the moon-light like kids. I don’t feel the night chill at all. And then…

“The Flower for the Graves” and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Eulogy for the Martyred Children” portray the same message; racism has gone too far. During the times of racial havoc, four girls were brutally murdered by “some brutal fool who didn’t know any better” (Patterson). The man who killed these innocent girls was influenced by the public ideas that black people were inferior to the rest of society and thought he did a righteous act. Yet, “the bombing proved to be a pivotal moment in the civil…

I'm honored that you have chosen to do your history report on your ancestory. I'm not sure how much your mother has told you about our family history; so I'll start in the beggining. I was born on March 12, 1741 to Matilda and Hurai Muthui; they were good people and tried to provide for me and my six brothers; Guri, Moses, Thia, Martin, Danju and Muingo.I helped out as much a I could but we were very poor. When I was 19; I arrived by ship in Geogetown in the spring of 1760 with 150 other would…

In order to honor Mrs. Hutchison lived, we are going to hold a funeral service for her and we ask her husband, Mr. Hutchison to speak about her. I am so thankful for all the people who showed up today. It is a difficult time for me and all of you as well and I am mindful of that. It had been really hard for me and my children. We have been going through difficult time. It's really hard to begin talking about, Mrs. Hutchison, my love, my wife and my mother of our children. I was so lucky to…

For my whole life, my dad has been my backup, my inspiration, and my biggest fan, and my hardest teacher. He motivates me to do my best in every aspect that I can. I cannot thank him enough for giving me all of the knowledge I can and will use for the rest of my life. My loving father raised me to keep my sense of humor while being responsible where necessary, to work diligently, and to maturely manage my finances. While I don’t resemble my dad closely, I did inherit his nose and his humorous…
