Eulogy For My Father
Today I'm thankful for my brother Trevor. Hard working, outgoing, funny, and simple are 4 words that describe him perfectly. No matter what he's doing he puts his full effort into whatever it is. If it was a sport he wanted to be better at, he would spend hours working on it in his own time. If it was a project he needed done for school, he would put it before anything else. If it was a few extra hours of studying to get a good grade, he would do it. But most of all, any time anything needs done around the farm, he's the first one to do it. During the summer while my Dad's at work, Trevor makes the plans and tells the hired hands what to do. If he's home from college he tells my Dad he worked enough the day before and to get a few extra hours of sleep and he'll take care of the …show more content…

Trev is also outgoing and funny. If he's comfortable around you, he'll spend most of his time joking around. He's the kind of person you don't really get tired of being around and he never really has to try to gain the approval of others. He is just incredibly witty. He is also one of the most plain and simple people I've ever met. By plain I don't mean boring to be around, by plain I mean he never looks for over the top extravagant. For example, he wears a plain grey t-shirt and shorts majority of the time. He wears the same tennis shoes for years at a time. He never even wanted new crayons in grade school and who on earth doesn't want new sharpened crayons to start the year?! Needless to say, my brother is a class act in my opinion and never fails to do what is asked of him and never comes up

    Our trip to Texas Southern was overall very interesting. We briefly visited with Dr. Thomas Freeman and learned about his long, incredible life, but before that, we walked some of the halls containing mural after mural. Many are elaborate paintings of various elements of the black lives matter movement. Others, like the police brutality mural, have connotations to today’s world and the injustices African American people face on a day to day basis. The mural that caught my eye, though, was the one depicting one mule on a vast stretch of land which, Mr. Ford said, is a symbol of the ‘one mule and forty acres’ the enslaved families were meant to receive after being emancipated. Even though the painting may seem bare, the history of the origin of “forty acres and a mule” is displayed by what is included and excluded because, the mural’s location on an otherwise bare portion of wall represents the hope from an otherwise hopeless position, the mural itself represents the metaphorical promise of forty acres and a mule, and the bareness of the tree and…

    In the autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, writes of the incident when he defends himself against the cruel Mr. Covey. Harriet A.

    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.…

    He was always listening to other people complain about what was wrong with their lives, and he just listened, and gave advice when they asked for it. He also never complained to others about his problems, he kept them to himself. He was also always looking out for people, whether they were friends, family, or complete strangers, he was always making sure that they were okay. Not in any physical or mental pain. Right up to the end he was smiling and laughing just like when he was little except he would make jokes to try and get people to laugh at him or by doing something stupid. He had a bright future not just as a mechanic or a loving father, but just by being the great man that he would have…
