    Her mom died when she was only two years old and she was raised by her grandma along with her sister but the only mother she ever known died when she was only six years old, she wrote her first poem at that age of six for her grandmother and Sonia Sanchez talked about her death in her interview with Rachel Harding “I am forever grateful to her, to her life for her being on this earth because I was a child who, when I was told to go outside and play, I played roughly and came back in. And I was all ragged you know? She let me be ragged. She protected me. And when she died, I was wise enough, at six, to know my protector had died”. She kept on moving between family members and moved in later with her father and step mother. Later on, her brother died of AIDS and in “Does your house have lions” Sonia Sanchez expresses the pain she and her family left. Sonia remembers herself as a shy and private child, she stuttered and as a result was very reticent about verbally expressing herself but instead that pushed her to read even more. It amazes me because Sonia had so much to overcome, she had so much pain to deal with that she could’ve just whined and cried for the rest of her life, but yet she did not only try to survive through all these struggles but instead she conquered them and even fought for the cause of…

    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.…
