memoirs

This week in class we talked about memoirs. Memoirs are true stories written by the person who went through the event. They are personal memories and feelings written down to be shared with the world. The most famous memoirs are usually about overcoming tragedy and a difficult life. Memoirs are different than an autobiography because they focus and a certain event or person in the writers life, not a full life summary.
I have picked to read Look Me In the Eye: My Life with Asperger's by John Elder Robison. This memoir is about John Robison's life growing up with asperger's syndrome and overcoming the many hurtles that comes with it. I'm looking forward to reading this book and seeing things from John's perspective.

DESSERT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING!
