Obituary

My Obituary Analysis When I think about the qualities of an effective obituary, three things come to mind. The obituary is bound to be a factual notice of death that includes all the basics about the person: their birth date, death date, home town, parents, children, and information about their career. This is the framework that makes up an obituary and is the most significant portion of it. Secondly, it is imperative that the obituary lists the person’s major achievements in life.

this paper, I will analyze an obituary about Jillian Ann Montgomery who was killed in a car accident. Most obituaries are of people one may not be familiar with, just like this case of Jillian.

When looking at obituaries and the styles and formats that they are in, you can compare and contrast the traditions and values of both newspaper and memorial website obituaries. Like mentioned before, death is inevitable and death is also a heartache and disaster for the loved ones left behind. Not only do your loved ones have to grieve

Obituaries states a person’s life by profiling their grand events and contributions. Yet, they lack the emotional connection that demonstrates who the deceased truly was while living. The obituaries tell a story, giving the deceased’s loved ones the final act of life – closure. Does the description of the dead describe who they were in person? Obituaries offer hope towards life, giving an individual’s loved ones a piece of remembrance. This serves as an act of peace and an understanding of life.

When the class was told that we would have an obituary assignment, I thought it would be really interesting to do because when do you ever think to write your own obituary? I understand that writing the obituary would make it more surreal, that one day our life will come to an end. I remember you telling the class to try to put a picture of ourselves on our obituary to make us believe it really happened, so that’s what I did. I can say that after this assignment, it did make me think more about how

Medusa’s Obituary Medusa (Ugly Dussy) Gorgon, age 156, from the city of Ancient Greece, passed away on October 31, 1955 B.c when Percy beheaded her with his sword riptide. Medusa was born in Ancient Greece, on October 31, 2111 B.C to Phorcys and Ceto. She graduated from Freaky Figurines High School, and received a degree in Awkward Effigy from Deceased Modeling of Greece University. Medusa is still drooling over the Sea God Poseidon (who she has no chance with whatsoever) that looks way better

Homer - obituary Homer is remembered as one of the greatest individuals to have ever lived and the present day society contains a great deal of concepts that he discussed. His poems have served as inspiration for many individuals who succeeded him and continue to trigger intense feelings in people who come across them. Although the time period that he lived in made it difficult for historians to get actively involved in discussing his life, there are numerous accounts regarding the man's existence

Below is Nelson’s first draft of Anne obituary, which he first wrote on December 30, 2008. Anne Lefkowitz Blachman was born in 1919 in the Bronx but moved within a couple of years to Coney Island, Brooklyn, new York. She spoke only Yiddish till she entered kindergarten.

I found a very interesting article from The Guardian newspaper, which was written by a woman that I have found other interesting articles from. Jessica Valenti wrote an article titled, “Obituaries show that sexism follows women to the grave”. Now, at first I thought that this was a strange and somewhat morbid idea for an article. Upon further reading, however, I found that the story held a lot of meaning and importance in today’s society. Valenti starts off the article with saying that if you are

I have chosen to write an Obituary for this specific written assignment. The obituary shall consist of recalling Macbeth as the king of Scotland, who is the main character of the play 'Macbeth' written by William Shakespeare.
