Eulogy to Beowulf A great man has died. And his name is Beowulf‚ our king‚ and a very close friend of mine. Beowulf was a brave man‚ the bravest of us all. A generous soul‚ that cared for others. A man whose fury and glory no man could ever match. He did many things that we could not imagine of achieving. From the terror of the ferocious Grendel‚ he freed this very land. Freed us from the pain and suffering the monster had brought us. But his heroic endeavor did not stop there. For the ferocious

As simple of an act of walking to the bathroom she won’t be able to do anymore. Writing this eulogy allowed me to tap into memories way in the past.

The Eulogy of Felicitasha I guess Forrest Gump was right when he said‚” Life is like a box of chocolate‚ you never know what flavor you’ll get.” I could say it in a country accent‚ but that would go a little bit too far. But besides that‚ you never know what’s going to happen. It was very tragic when Felicitasha was murdered‚ at the age of 50 years‚ before giving birth to her beautiful thousands of children‚ and there I would be an awesome aunt. Good morning everyone‚ I’m Zephra‚ Felicitasha’s sister

Absent Fathers and the Wrong Type of Neighborhood Things we have always had in our lives sometimes are taken for granted. A house‚ enough food‚ money for life’s necessities‚ and sometimes‚ worst of all‚ our families. When we have all these things given to us starting from the day we are born‚ we don’t give very much thought to it. For those without these things‚ life can be very different. American youth born in areas in which all of these aren’t relatively common are influenced to live very different

“Congratulations‚ you have a beautiful baby boy!” my mother said as she rubbed my head with the biggest smile I think I had ever seen. Last year I would have never thought that I would be a mother a year later‚ especially not at the age of 16. I could still remember when my brother and sister were little and I would have to take care of them all the time. At least with them the responsibility was not all mines. This was “my child.” I would have to make sure he was fed‚ bathed‚ changed‚ and happy
