Eulogy of a Cartoon Character
Imagine the horror of your friend who happens to be a cartoon character, suddenly passing
away! You have been asked by the family to deliver the eulogy at the funeral service.
The speech must have the following in any order:
Time limit: 1 1/2 to 2 minutes long
1. Biographical information-family members (mom, dad, brother, sister, wife, husband,
and kids)
2. Life history-what did they do for a living, what were they well known for
(employment-wise) and did they make the news for anything they may have done
(appropriate)?
3. Personality-describe it as you knew them
4. Personal story-how did you meet them? Or what did you do with this person? Or what
do you know about them that maybe others do not know? (it can be humorous, but
appropriate)
5. How are they going to be missed?
6. What did you learn from this person? What one thing would you like to try to be like
them in (for example helped others)?
