My Eulogy

I knew Harlan for a while and I came to realize that he was a strange person. He didn't talk to many people hes wasn't already comfortable with. Alot of the time though he was a kind person to people he knew. it took a while to earn his trust. I'm glad I met him though. before I can talk about how he was to his friends I have describe how he was to strangers. he would usualy avoid conversation with other people and move away from any groups he saw. I think maybe it was because he was afraid making friends just to lose them or it could be that he was just shy. If anyone attempted to make conversation with him he would respond in a very calm almost monotone voice. This usualy pushed people away. If that same person were to keep speaking with him he would gradually be more involved in the conversation. over time he would show his true colors, maybe laugh a little or tell a joke. After a little bit of time he became an pleasent person to be around. At home he would play songs on his various instruments or teach the younger kids about interesting topics. At home he was loved by the people he lived with even though they were not blood relatives. I think if he were act the same way at as he does at home he would have many friends. He once told me that he had only a couple of friends at school. The strange part about was that he was totally content with. It strange how he becomes two completely different people depending on his location. In the end his dual personality never changed.
