MEMOIR 3rd assignment BLACK BOY
I believe people write memoirs in order to share. People who write memoirs feel they have a story to tell or a life to explain. The power of this sharing is extraordinary. Some relate it to their own lives or their own situations and it helps them find a solution or a better way of dealing. Also, by telling our own stories we are sharing a part of ourselves we are telling what we are thinking, how we are feeling and this can bring people closer together, or farther apart. I found this when wrigting my memoir i recalled a story that i hadn't thought of for years as well as a person who i hadn't talked to in some time. As soon as i was done telling my story i immediately e-mailed my friend for whom the story was about and we have been keeping in touch ever since.

See, writing can have a strong impact on one's life!
megan! i really liked how you used real life examples to add to your blog! i agree with your statement about how people are sharing a part of themselves when they tell stories or write memoirs. good job megan!
I totally agree that memoirs are a way to share apart of yourself. You get to put your life lessons and personal experiences out into the world, so that people can share your expriences with you; in a sense. I also liked how you used real world examples, it just goes to show that a memoir can have a strong power for anyone that chooses to put their all, and put a piece of themselves, into it.
I really liked how you related your blog to your only life and you own writing! That was a really cool way of explaining you theories. I also beleive that memoirs are made in order to share. Really great job.
