Texsox Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 So many choices, so many ideas. I have to write a full length obituary of a fictional character, the Professor of the course, or any faculty member who would be willing to answer some background info and etc. I'm thinking the fictional character wouold be the most fun. But which one. Ribbie is too obscure here, so it needs to be someone reasonably well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 I like both of those ideas. I'm also thinking either Stewie Griffin or perhaps Dr. Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Feb 6, 2009 -> 10:43 PM) Jesus Christ That would be stretching the definition of faculty. While he certainly does teach, I do not believe he qualifies for this assignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 At my school a teacher assigned something similar, and a girl wrote that she and her best friend died in a car crash. Days later, it came true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 7, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) Bill Brasky Phenomenal response! Except now that I think about it, would it even be possible for Bill Brasky to die? On a side note, I'm glad they specified writing an obituary on a fictional person b/c a fake obituary for Shaun Ellis (current Jets DE) for a journalism class here at UT accidentally got put on the school's online newspaper. Since he's a UT alum, a bunch of people started freaking out. Kind of f***ed up for someone to have written an obituary about a real person - just seems wrong.

At the autopsy, they said his heart looked like a basketball filled with riccotta cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero. . . if for no other reason than you can write Big Pussy over and over again in the piece. Then after he was killed and dumped overboard, he was wet Big Pussy. Yeah, that one would be fun to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the prof is familiar with the book you could do it in two parts, a very short one that would be realistic then a second part in the style of how Ignatius wrote in the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
