Today in English class we talked about writing our memoir. I'm still debating on what I will write about, though I do have a few ideas. After reading the assigned readings, I have learned that a memoir's content can be very dynamic and that reading a person's memoir can inspire the reader to feel a wide range of emotion. I have seen examples of how a memoir can be used to recall horrific or disturbing events, such as Alice Sebold's "Lucky, or how they can be used to just talk about someone's past in general, such as Jo An Beard's "Cousins." I think I will write my particular memoir about generally pleasant occurrences as I prefer to reminisce about the good rather than the bad.
I believe my memoir will either recall the eventful summer my high school graduation, or the day where I obtained my driver's license. Both these occurrences stand out vividly in my mind thus, I believe, writing about them will produce a very detailed memoir.
Those are the two memories I think I would prefer to write about, but who knows? Maybe I'll think of something a little later on, I still have a little while to get this done.
