Help
O.K. I need to do a Mad Lib assignment. I need to write my own Obit for journalism…no this isn’t morbid at all and it really does fall in line with Halloween…wait my obit is due this Tuesday but that’s six days before Halloween. I might be able to get a little preemptive “trick or treat” from my professor by suggesting that she extend our deadline until the ghoulish hour of Midnight Oct. 31st that way she could have a monstrous good time reading them for the celebratory occasion.(It’s not going to happen my teacher seems to have a life..but it’s worth a try.) So as far as the Mad Lib thing goes, I need help deciding on the factors in which I’m going to use in my story. Here’s a list:
What’s one unique attribute
Time and place of death
Cause of death
Major accomplishments
chronological order of my early life
Honors awards
additional interest and accomplishments
groups I‘m in
surviving relatives burial and funeral arrangements
Ok so I’m tired and on my 5th cup of coffee for the day…This obit must be written tomorrow with a clear mind and invigorated creativity. Nothing seems to be calling me more than 8 hours of sleep and a trip to Kaladi Brother’s a damn fine coffee shop if I do say so myself. Such a good mood provoking occasion would be perfect for devising the elaborate ways I lived and died. “next time Gadget…next time.”
