Blog 7 LOOKING FOR "TRUTH"

I believe that both my memoir and my personal essay relfect the story as it should be told in a short form essay. The details I selected in both are true to the focus. If I couldn't remember any of the facts I did not include them. The facts were menial so it did not harm the story. I really feel that since the two events that I talked about effected me so much as the person that I am today it was hard to lie about them. I haven't made any changed in setting or time. My sequence remained the same the only thing was that since the essays were segmented it jumped in time but i do not believe that is changing details. I did not use dialog only qoutes that I distinctly remember. I wrote from experiance in both of my essays. I don't believe I play a type in eather one of my essays. I think that I wrote from my heart and that's what makes the best writing. I don't think that I left out any relevent details. I think that I included everything that I can remember about the events. I'm not on the defense either I'm the type of person that whatever I do I am not ashamed of. I wouldn't hide what I did I live my life with no regrets. I think that my writing does show that I am more experianced and thoughtful now. I think that's what helps it have more of an impact because I can reflect on my feelings. When selecting my details I used all the ones that I could remember. I did pick out certain events that helped support my focus. I think that my tone in both of my stories is serious and gets the point across that I want to. The tone is very important because it makes the reader feel what you are feeling. I think that I was true to the charectors of the people I interacted with in my essays. I don't think that I made them fit into any roles. I feel like what I have written is the truth to the best of what I can remember. I haven't left out anything that I would need to add to my essay to make it more truthful.
