My Papa Eulogy
My Papa was the biggest practical joker I have ever met. At his funeral when I was reading his eulogy my immediate first line was “If you know anything about my Papa you know he liked to scare people. I don’t think he liked the scaring part as much as he liked the after effect of it. You know the part where everyone laughed about it.” The extremely funny part is every single person in that room had some kind of joke played on them by him. When I think of my Papa I think of his sense of humor. I love hearing people really truly laugh, that’s got to be my favorite sound ever. Laughter is a beautiful thing. My papa sincerely knew how to make people laugh. This is something I find beautiful. There’s this photo from my birthday last year of me,

Many of the terms distort or conceal the meaning of the words we use now, in order to promote the rules and conventions of the community. They affect the behavior and attitude of the people in the community. The terms release, Stirrings, and the Ceremony of Loss are all expressions that have had an impact in The Giver.…

    Papa's Conversation With Friends Analysis

    When Papa spoke, he liked to reference history’s great thinkers and inspire an enlightened dialogue. “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people” is a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that he casually reminded his grandchildren of when the conversation got petty or gossipy (Eleanor). However, not everyone so eagerly accepted his social habits. As a society, much importance is placed on contribution, and someone more private is often regarded as disrespectful. That translates into conversation. Words in their simplest form need clarification, and the lack of words has potential to be misinterpreted even more, which is why Papa was a frequently misunderstood man. People tended to question his quietness because it could be so easily mistaken for anger or rudeness. But those who gave him a chance learned to understand his reserved behavior. In fact, I understood it quite expertly because it was a quality that I also had, ergo giving me someone to relate to and to be inspired…

    My Papa's Waltz: Abusive Father

    The father in this poem I would say he’s not abusive. The reason why I say this is because when you drink you can do weird things. If you reach your drinking limit you will start acting crazy and everything will go out of control. It depends on how you act. In my opinion I would say Mr. Waltz in not an abusive dad I would say he’s a great father that will dance with his son. Mr. Waltz might be drinking just to be with himself and let everything just feeling good to him. He be dancing with his son and to show him that he love him when he be drunk. So therefore I’m saying that Mr. Waltz is not an abusive father.…

    For as long as I could remember my Grandma was my best friend. She learned how to use a phone just so she could talk to me every day.

Over a span of three years she developed alzheimer's, and it was miserable. Watching someone you love fade away takes a toll on you.…
