Set in the early 1920’s‚ Cather tells of a young artist’s deceased body adventuring home with a mysterious follower. She speaks of the hidden meanings of the townspeople. Although the beginning is somewhat dry and slow‚ the scheme shifts toward the middle and end. Cather begins the story by outlining the men awaiting the sculptors body by train.

The company occupies about 12% of the market share in a fragmented but stable and highly predictable funeral services industry‚ in which the company growth primarily depends on the demographic situation.

Such an option seems to be quite realistic

I can’t tell you how many times Doe Doe asked whose funeral we were at‚ but it never seemed to become easier to tell her that it was her beloved husband’s. Not only was I not allowed to sit with my parents‚ but unfortunately I had the chance to sit beside some stuck up distant cousin who didn’t even know Papa.

I’ve always wanted to know what a funeral home really looks like‚ TV pretty much has it pegged but I just never really realized how boring a funeral home really is.

their twin’s funeral. They did not know each other‚ but the death of the one’s they held dearest brought them together. Aurum and Aura were twins‚ like many twins they were as close as the shore is to the ocean. Completely inseparable‚ it was like they were glued to each others side.

Doth he Speaketh the Truth? Nay say I. While reading the Funeral Oration made by Pericles‚ son of Xanthippus and a Athenian General‚ I realized that he made some statements about Athens that did not seem quite right‚ in fact down right boastful in certain places. So I did some research and found a few other sources that wrote about that same speech to include my history textbook to see if what I was reading/thinking was correct. My objective with this essay is to show three instances of the speech
