Eulogy Assignment: A Good Grade Was Hard to Come By
July 31st, 2009 by admin
One of my most disturbing college assignments came when my professor asked us to write a fictional eulogy for a friend. The class was on creative and different types of writing. It was a lot harder than I thought. First, it was difficult to write without thinking of the terrible thought of losing a friend. Second, I found it difficult to strike a balance between the funny stories, the heartfelt remembrances, and the need to honor a life that was (fictionally) cut short. I had to ask for two extensions to complete the project! I ended up with a good grade, but it really stretched me. I was glad when it was over!
