Eulogy For Shelters

During a dinner, Uncle Harvey read the letter his brother had left. There, was written that six thousand dollars were in the basement and many properties were given to Peter’s brothers

He then goes on to describe how “Colonel Sartoris invented an involved tale to the effect that Miss Emily’s father had loaned money to the town, which the town, as a matter of business preferred this way of repayment.” Remitting Miss Emily’s taxes was a

When Miss Emily’s father passed away she began to start acting out. Emily is stuburned like her father, who refuses to change. Although her father had lots of money, he only left Miss Emily the home. Soon the town started asking Miss Emily to pay her taxes. But, she refused to do so. Colonel Sartoris, the mayor of the town, planned to not make Miss Emily pay taxes on her house, “Not that Miss Emily would have accepted charity” (452), trying not to make it seem like Colonel Sartoris was offering her charity. He made up an imaginary loan from her father to the town

During the conversation Miss Emily tells the men “See Colonel Sartoris. I have no taxes in Jefferson” (31). Colonel Sartoris has been dead for almost ten years. Emily’s behavior not only shows mental instability but also that she may be delusional and confused.

During a crisis of pet overpopulation, it right to kill animals simply because they are not wanted? Or is it ever right thing to do? The United States is faced with the problem of what should be done with the excess of stray animals. This is a complex thing to solve, but that doesn’t mean killing the animals for space is right. Stray dogs and cats have just as much right to a good home as pets that already have owners. No-Kill shelters are beneficial, they provide a safe, pet-friendly environment that would help solve the problems of pet homelessness and overpopulations, as a result of spay and neuter being provided as well.

… No prayers were said over his tomb. No candle lit in his memory. His last word had been my name. He had called out to me

Sensing the likelihood of making a pile of cash, Tiffany dramatically changed her perspective by replying rapidly, “If that’s what you and the boys’ want…” She saw their eyes light up with the prospect of gaining money for their collective suffering, and accordingly she couldn’t refute their claims by saying ‘no’. That’s why, she added compassionately, “Far be it from me to interfere in your decision, so I won’t stand in your

Ma’ma: I am so relieved that I received this letter from you. 5 years have gone by since the end of the war and knowing that you are safe brings great joy to my heart. The years that I worked for you were not entirely the greatest of my life. I suppose that you and the old master were good to me on feeding me and giving me a home but from the good times that I can remember being on the farm, there was also the bad times. Not so much for me to despise you but enough for me to tell you that I can not go back to work for you. It breaks my heart knowing that my old master was killed during the war along with your children as well. My heart goes out to you knowing that you are all alone with no one to help you around the farm but I am doing well

In the story, “One Thousand Dollars” Gillian is in a similar situation with Tom Beneke. Gillian is mentioned in his Uncle’s Will for $1,000 and an additional $50,000 if he spends his $1,000 wisely. In the story, the lawyers tell Gillian, “-In reprehensible dissipation among disreputable associates- the $50,000 is to be paid to Miriam Hayden…”

The Sanitarium was a place for ill to receive unusually treatments that were thought to work. Will’s job was to make sure that everything was working and took care of the finances for his brother. He was not very happy with his job, but he kept at it though John did not pay him much. Will barely had enough to put food on the table for his wife and children. He tried his best to be a good father, but with the hours John wanted him to do, he got up early before the kids and came home late after supper. Sometimes John would push him to work over the weekends to Will’s

Mrs. Keel has been married to Cecil Keel, Senior for 46 years. They have two sons, two daughters-in-law and five grand children. Ms. Keel is a member of West Broward Church and she is a tireless volunteer for her church, Seagull School, First Steps to Excellence Child Development Center in Ft. Lauderdale and the community. The list describing what Mrs. Keel does not do is much shorter than the list of what she does. Her volunteer work includes teaching, organizing, chaperoning, leading, encouraging, and supervising. She does these things and more while smiling for countless activities and groups. Mrs. Keel is the kind of person who continues to do such things without recognition. Thus, this is a fabulous opportunity to honor a humble volunteer of Seagull. She truly deserves this public recognition of Outstanding Senior Volunteer of the Year.

Finalizing, death is the word we all live to avoid, and we forget to actually live. According to Piven, the fear of death plays a critical role in our emotions (2004). We fear the idea of the unknown when in reality stepping into its thought it could ignite positivity within ourselves. Writing my own personal funeral eulogy for this assignment was a bit difficult at first, but with an open mind regarding such topic I was able to connect with myself in a unique and new way. None of us are completely certain of the possibilities presented when our lives some to end, but being aware of the fact and writing your own eulogy like this assignment enhanced us to presents you with new insights of how you are living life now.

There are about 13,600 animal shelters nationwide. There are about 7.6 million animals entering shelters each year, of those 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats. Each year about 2.7 million animals are euthanized because they cannot find homes. 1.2 million and 1.4 million are cats that spend the last of their life locked in a kennel.

Of the dogs that end up in shelters about 37% are adopted, 26% that come in as stray get returned home and 31% are euthanized. For cats 35% get adopted, only 5% that come in as strayed are returned to their families and 41% are euthanized. There are about twice as many animals entering shelters as strays

So I'm over at the Hortons' with my stretcher and minivan and my able apprentice, young Matt Sheffler, because they found old George, the cemetery sexton, dead in bed this Thursday morning in ordinary time. And the police have been in to rule out foul play and the EMS team to run a tape so some ER doctor wired to the world can declare him dead at a safe distance. And now it's ours to do—Matt's and mine—to ease George from the bed to the stretcher, negotiate the sharp turn at the top of the stairs, and go out the front door to the dead wagon idling in the driveway and back to the funeral home from whence he'll take his leave—waked and well remembered—a Saturday service in the middle of April, his death observed,

Homelessness is a person or a family that don’t have a place to use as a house or shelter. US government provides emergency/winter shelters for homeless people living in the United States. Winter shelters are really useful for homeless people, but there is one problem about this service. States have the control of opening and closing these shelters. Before the beginning of winter, every state chooses a temperature to open winter shelters, and they open shelters when the weather is lower than the chosen temperature. For example New York City decided to open its winter shelters when the weather is colder than 32 F previous winter. Every state has a different temperature to open its shelters. Lethal hypothermia can be caused when the
