Memoir Writing
 
Write your memoir.  Remember, a memoir is a piece of your life.  It is not your whole life.  Think of an event that is memorable (an event that you cannot forget).  For the next few days, concentrate on writing an engaging beginning and adding literary devices such as similes, metaphors, personification, repetitions, and onomatopoeia.  We covered these devices in class during our Writer's workshop.
