Answer 2

Michelle - Since you're not dead, YOU don't need an epitaph. I'm assuming this was a school assignment, and you're supposed to write an epitaph for a character. Are you sure it's not a eulogy? An epitaph is just a few words on a gravestone, whereas a eulogy is a speech read during a funeral.

What if you wrote one on Harry Potter? Or if you think that's too common, you could write one on another character from the series, like Hagrid or Dumbledore. What would Hermione's epitaph say?

Answer 3

A few suggestions, Hitler, he was an interesting guy, Terry Crews, an exceptional actor, Or me, I am a pshycologists dream and also my life is like a drama novel but true.
