Writing your eulogy

How might Ponyboy write his eulogy?
He might focus on what a gallant person Johnny was. Possibly he might discuss how supportive Johnny was. He might talk about the obstacles Johnny had overcome in life. He would most certainly have used literature references in the eulogy ie comparing Johnny to the gallant southern gentlemen from the novel Gone with the Wind.
Here's an important quote from Johnny maybe it would be useful for Ponyboy when writing his eulogy.
‘Listen, I don’t mind dying now. It’s worth it. It’s worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more than mine, they have more to live for. Some of their parents came by to thank me and I know it was worth it…I’ve been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you’re gold when you’re a kid, like green. When you’re a kid, everything’s new, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day…You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There’s still lots of good in the world…"
