Eulogy

Many would say that John Setnicar would not strike them as a very interesting man.  He comes from a humble middle class background with a father who would have prefered to live in the eighteenth century without a dishwasher or an air conditioning unit.  Yes it is true his family may not have a lot of money, but that does not mean he is without ambitions.  He wishes to go to business school to study to be an accountant.  It is not what many would consider a dream occupation, but it is a secure occupation usually in high demand and he would be able build a nice life for himself and his family, which is what matters to him most. 

In his spare time he used to watch and play baseball religiously; it was his passion.  But after a while he came to realize that he really was not very talented and that nobody really watched baseball anymore so he decided to quit.  He continues to watch it from time to time, but now just like the rest of the American youth he has become more interested in soccer.  He couldn’t play to save his life, but he lovers to watch the English premier league.  Unfortunately, his favorite team: arsenal, has not won anything for quite some time. 

Although in general John is a good student, his parents and his friends especially would say that he needs to improve his critical thinking skills and acquire some common sense.  He chose this class to gain a different perspective on life and hopefully to learn to better generate his own individual thoughts rather than to depend on the findings of others.
