12/8/08 - A Eulogy for Sibyl Vane
How can we use and review a rubric to synthesize and produce a narrative account in the form of a eulogy of Sibyl Vane?
Recall: A eulogy is a speech or writing in praise of a person or thing. The word is derived from two Greek words - ευ (pronounced "you") meaning good or well and λογος (pronounced "logos") meaning word, phrase, speech, etc.

This is a perfect image of Sibyl Vane. She looks beautiful and like a seventeen-year-old child. However, she looks extremely naïve. She has the look of someone who knew nothing other than acting, just like Sibyl. Because of this perfect combination of beauty and naiveté, I feel as though this image best represents Sibyl Vane.

Who would most likely give the eulogy of Sibyl Vane?
It would most likely be both her mother and James. This is because both of them were the only ones who knew Sibyl the best. They are the only ones who would be able to passionately and accurately talk about Sibyl and her life.
