The unexamined life is not worth living? Modern day gadfly

The unexamined life is worth living because I believe every life is worth living. Whether you choose to live your life in the dark or think about it is your choice. The examined life is more meaningful and fulfilling though. If you just go through the "motions" not wondering why they are the "motions" then you'll live a life. Your life might me simple and easy, but it may work for you. A person can believe they are happy living that life and who are we to say their life is not worth living because it is. Now, if you choose to question how the "motions" came to be the "motions" and possibly decide to veer of that predirected path then that's great. Those questions might lead you to an understanding of life therefore making you feel like you got the most out of life. Both lives are worth living it's just up to the person to decide which path to take.

Finding a modern day gadfly was a little hard. I really had to think about this, but then I decided that Russel Brand is a modern day gadfly. He questions society. He does it through humor, but he makes us think about stuff. He burned a dollar and tried to burn a pound but that didn't work. In America a dollar is worth so much, but is it actually worth anything? Burning currency is illegal, but he did it anyway to make us question why we value certain things. He gives his opinion in a very blunt way but, he gets it out there.

Eulogy

Tyler Rand is a 17 year old senior at Whitney Young. She has friends and a really small family. She's an only child to her mom and is the only child of her family of about 9 people. She finds herself uninteresting and she doesn't say much.  She is pretty indifferent to many many things going on and arguments taking place. Tyler strongly dislikes conflict.. She does however a a view on Taylor Swift. She thinks she's amazing. Her recent accomplishments were winning the team player award from her summer softball team and waking up alive today. Other accomplishments include valedictorian of her eighth grade class as well as watching every episode of Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Friends, and Degrassi. She has dedicated some of her life to watching episodes of Greys Anatomy over and over, so some may say that she has an obsession bordering on  addiction of the show. Majority of her life has been spent in school and even more of her life will spent in school. She plays varsity softball and is in young doctor's league, key club, dreams for kids, and will be taking the yearbook seminar.  She has had the opportunity to hold organs in her hands and see cadavers. Her goals are to be a cardio-thoracic surgeon. Her family has a history of heart conditions so she wants to help with that. Tyler Rand is just a girl that will hopefully go on to do great things and have actual accomplishments. Her life thus far has been pretty uneventfull, but that might change. There was Tyler Rand and hopefully here she will continue.
