Summary: Eulogy For Marlena
Eulogy for Marlena Hello, I am Jacob Jankowski. Thank you all for attending today. In this very moment, we are remembering my dear wife, Marlena. I sit and think, and I feel that Marlena was always a premier type of woman. She was my first lover, my first wife, and my first Marlena was true beauty. I’ve watched her grow as a person and that, in itself, is the true reason I am rejoicing in what she gave to me when she was alive rather to the day that we are separated by her death. Here are some memories of Marlena that I would like to share with you.
(Along with Presentation) The first picture is the very moment I knew that Marlena and I were destined to be together. I don’t know if anyone can truly emulate the love I felt for her when I saw her perform alongside her horses. Marlena was one with all of those she got to encounter. She was one with her horses, she was one with the humans she interacted with, and she was one with the circus. The qualities of her ability to fully immerse herself into her surroundings somewhat validated my growing sensitivity to those on the train. My developing sensitivity made it easy for me to deal with her previous husband, August. August had a mental

If there was anyone who could be close to being symbolized as the adhesive to the relationship I had with Marlena, it would be Rosie. That elephant was more than just some show animal. Rosie understood what we all did. She could comprehend to when she was abused and she could understand my frustration with her when I saw her swooning back into the arms of her abuser. Rosie also protected Marlena during the day of the stampede. You all should have seen it. Rosie stood, hovering over Marlena, and made sure that she wasn’t ran over by the rest of the animals. Rosie kept Marlena safe so that we could eventually be together. I don’t know what better glue I could ask for to have made it possible to attatch Marlena to my

    Passing-Death of Clare

    • 991 Words

    The death of Clare at the end of Nella Larsen’s Passing though left unclear was, in my opinion, caused by Irene pushing her out of the window. Nella Larsen does not specify what exactly happened, but Irene pushing Clare out of the window seems like the most plausible one. I don’t know whether Larsen intentionally left the ending so abruptly but I just feel as if Irene was the one to kill Clare. Larsen makes this point clear through the phrasing she uses when describing the self-esteem destruction Irene undergoes once Clare has reinserted herself into Irene's life, and the situations Irene finds herself as a direct result of Clare.…

    The beautiful, elegant, and powerful Empress Theodora has left her purple and her post after her battle with death. She has left our Empire and has gone to the heavens where she may live in peace after passionately defending and protecting our Empire. Our Empress Theodora started out as nothing but a mere actress and prostitute. Then our beloved Empress rose in political power and married Emperor Justinian. Some people called our Empress lazy and a burden, but she wasn’t close to that. She was the empress that defended and protected our nation, and influenced Emperor Justinian into keep our nation during the Nika Revolt! She was the empress who wouldn’t leave her purple and her people no matter what! She is the empress who would be the role model for future empresses! Now that our Empress has deceased she will still be respected and will be learned about for generations to come. Also, we can’t forget our Empress’s accomplishments during her years in power. Firstly, she has given women more rights than any other civilization. She gave women the power to own land and she allowed widowed women to take income from land to pay for children needs. She also has influenced our Emperor to stay during the Nika Revolt, and take care of our Empire. Lastly, our Empress had laws expanded to protect the Monophysites, and prostitutes so they could start their lives anew.

Our Empress was the most important out of other empresses due to her influence and her outstanding accomplishments. In all, our Empress has accomplished more than any other empress achieved and without Empress Theodora the Byzantine Empire would have fallen long ago.…

    The reader knows the story “Bluebeard” is a fairy tale. I see it as a tale of a serial killer given its content. It is the stark realism and no use of magic that makes it a story of interest to today’s readers. Kristin Hohenadel in the NY Times, “Fairy Tales Endings: Death by Husband” article informed the reader that Perrault’s bluebeard character was based in part on the life of Gilles de Rais. (Hohenadel, Kristin) Rais was found guilty of many things including Satanism, being a pedophile and a murderer. (Holloway, A.) In Breillat’s film of the fairy tale Bluebeard the viewer is shown a kinder, educated sole who loves his young wife. He does not force himself on her on their wedding night.

    Mrs. Mallard Eulogy

    • 352 Words
    • 1 Page

    Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…
