The reason why I would place this as comedy is because Eugene has a unique way of talking that's different than others in a funny way.]]> 2020-12-22 18:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038580042 AngelaTrombetta https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038581886 Eugene says that his family believes that if you don't whisper an illness then God will smite you with it.

This is humorous because it shows how Eugene is embarassed about his desires and it also shows an exaggeration when he mentions giving up being in the Yankees for his lustful desires.]]> 2020-12-22 18:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038582967 https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038586917 2020-12-22 18:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038586917 https://padlet.com/scaffrey1/adkgmfvz0tnyxl98/wish/1038587440 Eugene talks about how he had left instructions on his memoirs to not be open until 30 years after his death.
