For my project I am supposed to write 2 obituaries, one negative and one positive for that person. The person I chose to write them on is Lawrence of Arabia, but I can't seem to find any sites that say how to write a negative obituary. They all seem to say to leave any negative things out. So how would I write it? If you can, include examples from Lawrence of Arabia's life. I need this as soon as possible, please. 10 points given within a few hours to best answer.


Answer
Positive obituary:
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (16 August 1888[5] â 19 May 1935), known professionally as T. E. Lawrence, was a British Army officer renowned especially for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916â18. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title which was used for the 1962 film based on his World War I activities. May he rest in peace.

Negative obituary:
Lawrence was born illegitimately in Tremadog, Wales, in August 1888 to Sir Thomas Chapman and Sarah Junner, a governess who was herself illegitimate. Chapman had left his wife and first family in Ireland to live with Sarah Junner, and they called themselves Mr and Mrs Lawrence.

At the age of 46, two months after leaving the service, Lawrence was fatally injured in an accident on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle in Dorset, close to his cottage, Clouds Hill, near Wareham. A dip in the road obstructed his view of two boys on their bicycles; he swerved to avoid them, lost control and was thrown over the handlebars. He died six days later on 19 May 1935. The spot is marked by a small memorial at the side of the road.
The circumstances of Lawrence's death had far-reaching consequences. One of the doctors attending him was the neurosurgeon Hugh Cairns. He was profoundly affected by the incident, and consequently began a long study of what he saw as the unnecessary loss of life by motorcycle dispatch riders through head injuries. His research led to the use of crash helmets by both military and civilian motorcyclists.

Mountain Biking Accident?




Matt


Less than 24 hours ago I received a fast blow to the left side of my body from a fast, downhill mountain biking accident. I'm currently on vacation in Ireland and we own a house very far outside from any major cities. The closest hospital was a half hospital/half nursing home kind of place. Before entering I knew I had injured my collar bone, or clavicle, gashed the side of my head open (I was wearing a helmet the entire day, but I take it off for one second and this happens...), and various cuts and scrapes all over my body, particularly my knee caps and my left arm. The man who checked me out did not seem to be too professional, and could barely speak any English (He had a German accent). He cleaned up most of my wounds with some anti-bacterial cream and then inspected my clavicle. I thought for sure it was fractured but he said the worst that could be wrong with it would be a small crack that he could not see under the swelling. I asked him if I could get an x-ray done and he tells me they can only be done on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What. Kind. Of. Hospital. Is. This. I then showed him the side of my head and he said the cut wasn't deep.

I feel horrible. I can't move my left arm because it causes a really sharp pain in my collar bone. (The guy gave me a sling, but this doesn't help that much) As for the side of my head, when ever I open or close my jaw too far there is a sharp pain in the side of my head.

I have learned so much from this accident, and am I kind of happy it happened in a way. I definitely could have been a lot worse--possibly fatal. So please, before you bash me for not wearing a helmet or being careful, TRUST ME, I've learned my lesson.

My question to all of you is what I should do. If I'm to get an x-ray done then it has to be on Thursday and I don't feel like waiting that long. Another option is for me to visit a bigger hospital that is two hours away and have the scans done there. The only problem is that my dad doesn't feel like it's that big of a deal and I doubt he'll take me due to the length of the trip. I'm not too worried about the collar bone as I know that's a fairly common injury, but my main concern is my head. I don't think I got a concussion, as I didn't feel any headaches, nausea, vomiting, etc. But why does my head only hurt when I open my mouth a lot or try to eat food?

If I was back in America then I would not be asking people on the internet for advice, because I live extremely close to a major hospital. But out here there is not much to be done.



Answer
Although you had this accident while riding a bicycle, this is not a cycling question. Very few cyclists are qualified to answer your question
