Main Assignment

Suppose that a military pilot has been recently shot down and killed in battle. In the spirit of Yeats’s An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, write a 1-2 page eulogy for him. Invent a history for the pilot and include details that convey his personality and outlook on life.

An effective eulogy will:

· Have a clear focus and provide specific details
· Maintain a consistent tone and point-of-view
· Use repetition and parallelism
