RIP January

1. I decided to read about Glenn Frey, David Bowie and Monte Irvin. However that was very interesting to me and that stood out the most was the obituary to Monte Irvin the New York baseball team player. The way that his life was written was very well, I felt like it did pay his respects. I personally think he was an important and symbol for the US, including the problems this man had to deal with because of the color of his skin, and for the joy and happiness he brought to families by bringing them together and watching baseball.
2. All of these obituaries actually have a lot in common. I have answered a question like this before and I always see the same pattern. In the obituaries we read, they all only focus on the good, the accomplishments, the peaks, and the happiness of the one who had past. They never mention anything about the downs, but they mention more success, to make their life appear fulfilling. However, another reason I really liked Monte Irvin's obituary was because they did mention at least one struggle, which was the problem with the color of his skin, but they still did make his life sound overall again, fulfilling. I get why people want to know and look at the good side of  that one's persons life just because you would want your memory of them to be positive. Which is why I think we see a consisting pattern, in all of the obituaries.
