6/30

The main points of the two 2 pieces are to convey the impact that a memoir can have. I've realized through both the reading and the spoken memoir, that memoirs are a very heartfelt way to express yourself. Memoirs are entirely personal in every way. Memoirs are someones chance to share their most intimate feelings and stories with others.


Personally, I felt that each memoir was honestly touching. The one about the hurricane and the womens family struggle resulting from the hurricane reminded me of the strength of the women in my family and how they are a backbone for all my relatives an I. That memoir reminded me of who and what my grandmothers were. I'm glad that people enjoy sharing their memoirs with others.


After experiencing both memoirs, I still wonder if there are any possible events that could of caused Jerry Waxler to be so confused with himself, what exactly is Jerry Waxler trying to find, and why were the two woman who spoke about the hurricane chosen to share their story?
